THE VALLON DE CAMBOUSSELS
Let yourself be seduced by the authentic charm of the Vallon de Camboussels, an enchanting break starting from the picturesque hamlet of Coulouma. This 6.6 km loop is a true invitation to contemplation...
From your first steps, the plateau unfolds and offers you a magnificent panorama: the reliefs of the Saint-Chinian forest sketch the horizon and, in clear weather, the Pyrenees mountain range reveals itself in all its majesty. Then, the atmosphere changes. The trail gently descends into the coolness of the undergrowth to stroll along the river. It is here that history is told: along the interpretive panels, learn the secrets of peasant life from the past, from the work of the charcoal burners to the ingenuity of water management.
Between rural heritage and preserved nature, this accessible walk will delight the curious. Just plan good shoes for the rocky sections and save some energy to enjoy the final ascent!
