Seasons

Spring and autumn are probably the best times, although year round is quite possible. Summer heat and the tramontane wind in winter may affect your decision.

Centres

Montpelier, Béziers, Narbonne, Bedarieux and Lodeve set the boundaries of the region covered. Accommodation in small towns and villages, gîtes and refuges.

Difficulty

Mount Caroux, the Espinouse, Mont Liausson, the Gorges d’Héric, early flowers, autumn wine and good food at the end of the day.

Must See

Mount Caroux, the Espinouse, Mont Liausson, the Gorges d’Héric, early flowers, autumn wine and good food at the end of the day.

Use the IGN Series 1:25,000, available at bookshops in the area. Also very useful is the map Caroux et Bord Oriental de l’Espinouse, by David Mazet, which shows all the mountain paths and peaks in much greater detail. For touring, the IGN 1:100,000 Béziers/Montpellier map is excellent.
