Le chemin des laines interpretation trail

A fun and educational walk to discover how pastoral activity has transformed the landscape. A trail that takes you on a journey through the garrigue, a Mediterranean landscape shaped by man's pastoral activities over the millennia and up until the 1950s. The Chemin des laines owes its name to the scraps of wool hung on bushes by ewes as they grazed in the garrigue. Today, many vestiges remain along the paths between Vaunage and Sommierois, including the typical dry-stone constructions known as "capitelles", which have recently been restored. This trail also offers fine views over the Vaunage plain. Itinerary : 1. Go to Calvisson village center, Place Général de Gaulle. Take rue de Plaisance, then turn right onto rue du 8 mai 1945 to reach the D107, which you cross to reach Mazet de Guiraud. 2. Follow Chemin Font de Coucou then Ournèzes then Balcon de la Liquière. 3. At the Fontaine du Coucou, follow the signs for Queyrolles, then turn right to admire the capitelles and views over the plain as far as the Balcon de la Liquière. 4. At the Balcon de la Liquière, you can continue the Balade du Coucou loop, also known as the sentier des capitelles, by turning left towards La Queyrolle (loop) and then back up to the Balcon de La Liquière (+3 km). 5. Follow La Liquière then Grande Place, Puech des Buis, Labadel, Mas de Puech Long, Le Terme Blanc, La Manade, Chantale Basse, Val Claude, Cante-Perdrix, Maupas and Ournèzes. 6. Then direction Chemin Font du Coucou, Mazet de Guiraud and return to Place du Général de Gaulle via Rue du 8 mai 1945 and Rue de Plaisance to Place du Général de Gaulle. Bonus: Download testimonials from shepherds and local residents and listen to them as you stroll along, using the pictogram markers.

Coeur de la Vaunage interpretation trail

Between fountains and mills, history and traditions. A walk to discover Calvisson town centre and the surrounding area. A walk through Calvisson town center and the Roc de Gachone. Interpretation panels help you discover the town's historical heritage. ITINERARY : From Parking Plaisance, follow signs for Place Général de Gaulle, then Grand Rue and Roc de Gachone. From this crossroads, follow signs for Château, then Calvisson Plaisance, returning via the Florent washhouse. TO DISCOVER ALONG THE WAY : - Saint-Saturnin church of Romanesque origin, modified several times between the 12th and 15th centuries. - Laundries and fountains. - Remains of the 11th-century medieval castle. - The 19th-century halles (covered market) in the "Art Nouveau" style. - The 19th-century temple. - Panoramic views of the sea and Cévennes from the Roc de Gachone. - Windmills on the Roc de Gachone hill. - The House of Boutis, a decorative quilting technique. GOOD TO KNOW : Since prehistoric times, people have settled on the Vaunage, a large, beautiful plain between Nîmes, the banks of the Vidourle and the Mediterranean. In Roman times, the road linking Nîmes to Sommières brought the region to life, with its many farms. The present-day village of Calvisson was formed in the Middle Ages with the establishment of the priory of Saint Saturnin, of which the church remains the most beautiful witness, followed by the construction of a castle on the heights in the 11th century, which bears witness to the liveliness of the Wars of Religion. Indeed, Calvisson is one of the high points in the history of Protestant resistance in the lowlands. The village took off in the 18th and 19th centuries, thanks to its wine merchants. A new art of living took hold, reflected in the construction of fine residences.
