This circuit takes you through the large areas impacted by the forest fire of August 2003. On a detour, you can visit Saint Cosmas’ Chapel [chapelle de Saint-Côme], spared by the fire and recently restored.



This bare landscape, shaped by generations of farmers and sheep-breeders, is closely linked to human history.

From the car park by the church, take the road that goes downhill to the war memorial. Continue straight ahead between the houses. Continue on a track suitable for motor vehicles that turns into a path and climbs to a wide track.



  1. Take the track on the left (detour: you can reach Saint-Cosmas’ Chapel by taking the track on the right for 700m). Stay on the main track. 

  2.  Go right then left on the tarred road towards Toulousette. Leave it behind to take a track near a container shelter, then continue to Mas de Val.

  3. Cross the hamlet. Continue on a path bordered by low walls until you reach the D 16.

  4.  Cross the road and take the track opposite. Go through two gates (close them properly). At the second gate, take the track on the left to the D 16.

  5. Continue straight ahead. Climb up a slope and go back down towards a road (NB: technical section).

  6. Continue opposite towards Prunet until you reach a small pass.

  7. Go through the fence to take the track on the left. Follow the main path, through a second fence. When you see the village, go left then right to reach the road. By the houses, turn right twice to return to the starting-point.
