Tips from the Community
The terrain here takes on a reddish hue, but these rocks are not the ruffes of Salagou! These are continental sedimentary formations laid down in the Paleocene, about 65 to 61 million years ago. Deposited by ancient watercourses, the materials formed conglomerates, sandstones (the red gravel observed here), and marly limestones. Their reddish coloration is linked to the presence of iron oxides. The contrast with the ruffes (local name for the red rocks of Salagou) is as chronological as it is geological: formed in the Permian, about 271 million years ago, the ruffes are nearly 200 million years older. They result from the accumulation of fine sediments, notably clay and silt, in continental basins on periodically flooded plains. These deposits, subjected to alternating periods of flooding and drying, gradually consolidated into red pelites, the color of which is also linked to iron oxides.

The Via Domitia, or Domitius way, is a road that has connected Italy to Spain since the 2nd century BC. Here, it is not paved even though it may be on other sections. Present since prehistory, it gained importance in Roman times, with several repair works carried out until the 3rd century.

The AOP Picpoul de Pinet is the most important white grape variety in terms of production volume in Occitania. It gets its freshness from the proximity of the étang de Thau. Here you cross the vineyard and its landscapes mixing the green of the vine, the blue of the sky and the red of the earth.

271 million years ago, sediments were deposited in large quantities, giving rise to pelites (the scientific name for ruffs), consisting of clays and sandstones. Impossible to miss them! Their red color, due to the iron oxide they contain, is omnipresent here.

between rocks and red earth, a pretty, slightly technical trail, a real treat for mountain biking
