Bégude-de-Mazenc

Highlight • Settlement

The old castle garden in Bégude-de-Mazenc is now public (the old castle has been converted into holiday apartments). The garden is open all year round and there is a bistro (Le Kiosk) near the intersection of rue Émile Loubet and rue Jean Jaurès.

Aleyrac Priory

Highlight • Religious Site

Of the priory of Aleyrac, only the ruins of the Notre-Dame church remain today. And even if there is not much left of the church either, its facade remains almost intact and one can, on entering the enclosure, recognize the way in which it was organized at the time.

Vieux Chemin Scenic Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

It's a very nice stretch of road, quiet and with some nice curves. All the more enjoyable if you have the wind at your back! ;)

That's what I love so much about this region: Vineyards, grain fields, small groups of trees and in between these blooming lavender fields. - C'est très bien ici ...
