La Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Tredos, near St-Etienne-d'Albagnan.

La Chapelle Notre-Dame-de-Tredos, near St-Etienne-d'Albagnan. (13km /4.30h/yellow). (This is a lovely walk that starts in Riols and takes a route up to the chapel on a lovely ridge, then returns on another ridge back to Riols. It can also be done by a longer route starting in Riols and taking the voie verte to Premain, then up on the GR to the chapel before returning on the return yellow route, this route is 17km/5h). Knowing this is a lovely high, undulating route we decided to go up to the chapel where there is a place to park and then walking the route to Mas du Rieu only the inner ridge with it's beautiful views. Lots of wonderful butterflies and wild flowers. We were walking back when a large mother wild boar was standing in our path, I quickly called our collie before two tiny, fluffy baby boars followed her. A lovely sight. Looking forward to doing the full walk in the autumn when it's a little cooler.
