Coustouges, near Saint-Vincent-d'Olargues.

Coustouges, col du Poirier. between Olargues and Fraisse-sur-Agout. this is a lovely easy walk with great views of the Espinouse. It's not a long walk, taking roughly an hour. No signs, just on forest tracks. mostly circular. Park at the col du Poirier, (ignoring the blue markers, they are for another much longer, more difficult walk that goes down to Coustouges and up to the col de Fontfroide and back down on a spectacular saddle on the opposite side of the beautiful and valley spectacular valley). Walk, to your left up the forest track with lovely views of the Espinouse, turning right and around the outside of the hill and then taking a left track where another path goes downhill. Through the forest of mostly chestnuts and pines on this track, then next left at another view point before continuing through the forest. When you reach the next junction keep right to return to cars.
