Le Clos d'Esilda: Discover Agde and Languedoc-Roussillon

Stage 1 of the "La Camargue à vélo" cycling itinerary between Palavas-les-Flots and Aigues-Mortes. And 4 additional local loops. From Aigues-Mortes to Palavas-les-Flots Stage: Aigues-Mortes - Le Grau Du Roi - Carnon - La Grande Motte - Palavas-Les-Flots Who said the Camargue was monotonous? This itinerary is the perfect counter-example, taking you from contemporary cities to medieval ones, from ponds to salt marshes, as the colors change. Let's take a trip back in time, leaving from La Grande Motte and Port Camargue, with their rich 20th-century heritage. To do so, let's explore the infinite wilderness of ponds, marshes and seashores. The pink of the salt marshes and flamingos mingles with the blue of the sea and sky, and the white of the salt camels. Only then do the medieval ramparts of Aigues-mortes come into view, like a gift to the traveler! Take a look at the 4 additional itineraries from stage 1: - The Etangs Palavasiens (37km) - To the Espiguette beach (6km) - To the remains of the Peccais fort (20km) - The route des mas and the Lunel canal (36km)

Throughout medieval Occitania, the romieu, or romiu (sometimes francised as "roumieu"), is the pilgrim: both the one who goes to Rome and the one who takes the same paths but heads west, walking towards Santiago de Compostela. Between Azille and Carcassonne, a rare occurrence, the trace of these pilgrimages has been inscribed in the toponymy: an old path still bears the name of camin romieu. Towns crossed : Carcassonne, Villemoustaussou, Villalier, Villedubert, Bouilhonnac, Malves-en-Minervois, Laure-Minervois, Aigues-Vives, Saint-Frichoux, Peyriac-Minervois, Rieux-Minervois, Azille, Pépieux Signs : Red and white Itinéraire : * WARNING: This is a global description of the part from Azille to Carcassonne.

Lost among the windswept sands, facing the sea, the Espiguette lighthouse has been watching over, dominating and beaconing the dune and shoreline for 150 years.

In the arid Causses of Larzac to the north and Blandas to the south, the river Vis has carved out an impressive green furrow, dominated at its heart by a hill. This is the Cirque de Navacelles, a geological curiosity shaped by 600,000 years of patient labor. Straddling the departments of Gard and Hérault, the Vis river has carved out its bed in the limestone of the southern causses (Blandas and Larzac), forming vast meanders. Over time, erosion of the rock has enabled the river to cut its course as short as possible, abandoning its former bed. Thus was born the Cirque de Navacelles. To discover it in its entirety, don't miss the 300m-deep descent to the bottom of the cirque. Here, in a green oasis on the banks of the Vis waterfall, lies the village of Navacelles. A botanical trail, accessible to all, has been laid out here. Today, the cirque de Navacelles is a member of the Grands Sites de France, and boasts over 250,000 visitors a year. Since 2011, it has been nestled in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage Site (Causse & Cévennes). The heritage of the Cirque de Navacelles Grand Site The joint work of man and nature, the former has used all its power to sculpt the material and shape the site's geological outlines, while the latter has patiently created the "finishing touches": built islands, roads, bridges and paths, low walls supporting the terraces, all at the cost of laborious work to shape the relief.
