Le Tour du Bessio. Herault.

Le Tour du Bessio. 1H 35. easy. 5km. This pretty walk, taking in three little hamlets is not marked although part of the walk is on the GR. Starting in La Billiere, reached by the D22 from Lamalou-les-bains. Park in the small car park behind the old school building and return to the road. Turn left past the church and keep left at the next turn. Head up to the right and out of the hamlet. Here turn left up the track and keep on this track as it winds up the hill passing small vineyards and lovely views of the valley. Take the right turn to reach a small road. Turn left here and head into the hamlet of Le Tourel. Just before the turn in the road you will see a left turn down a small path marked red/white GR. When you reach a small stone building turn right down the little track between the fields. The track takes you down to some pretty waterfalls at Le Cros. Keeping left over the bridge and left down a small road to cross another bridge over the stream. Here you will find a stone cross marking the place where two children died in the river back in 1867. The little road passes new chestnut fields and returns left over the bridge to the hamlet. A very pretty walk whatever time of year.
