Starting from the village of Félines-Minervois, you’ll gradually climb along trails and through vineyards toward the heights of the mountain range. The trail offers impressive panoramic views of the surrounding nature, the rolling hills, and the local heritage. The highlight of the hike takes you into the heart of the valley to the Merleaux Spring, a fascinating natural resurgence where water gushes through the rock during the winter months. The loop continues along a varied route, taking in narrow paths, traditional dry-stone huts (capitelles), and a walk through the hamlet of Les Rivières, before winding its way back peacefully to the village center.
A beautiful immersion in nature, ideal for lovers of the great outdoors and Mediterranean heritage.
