    Navacelles - Moulins de la Foux

Explore the Hérault, on the wine route!

Around the Canal du Midi, in the shadow of the Pic Saint-Loup, in the Minervois or in the Vidourle-Camargue region, our wine routes will take you on a journey of discovery of our terroirs and our wines. Follow these itineraries by car, for a day or more, and let yourself be carried away to the seaside, the mountains or the heart of the garrigues. Take a different look at the landscapes, villages and vineyards of the Hérault region. Tastings and local produce are also on the menu!

Pioneers in France, the Oenorandos® de l'Héraultapproved by the Fédération Française de la Randonnée Pédestre (French hiking federation), invite you to discover our vineyard landscapes on foot, and to sample (in moderation) delicious local nectars... When hiking meets the vineyards, the story of our region is told. Put on your walking shoes and get ready to enjoy!

In the Hérault, along the water and by the sea...

The landscapes of the Hérault are also marked by the character of its rivers. Some have carved out breathtaking gorges, while others flow through verdant valleys. Whether you're a lover of beautiful landscapes, a keen nature enthusiast or a keen fisherman, our rivers and canals(such as the Canal du Midi) will never cease to amaze you.

Between sea and pondsthe Hérault coastline has some wonderful protected areas in store for you. Here, the transition from land to sea takes place slowly, naturally and respectfully. You have to pass the lagoons, their string of ponds and the dunes to reach the edge of the Mediterranean. Bullfights, oyster beds, nature reserves colonised by a host of migratory birds are the landmarks of this protected coastline. The pink flamingo is the star of the show!

Lovely hike from an ancient chapel. Route finding easy. Some steep and rocky sections particularly around the Col but no exposure.
