Caussiniojouls, A walk in the Languedoc.

Caussiniojouls. Easy. 6km/2h. blue markers. A pretty walk up from the lovely little village with 10th century castle and lovely church with a square tower. 

Park beside the Mairie and you will see the walk sign for L' Estelier. Follow blue signs up the hill past the little picnic area and through the lovely holme oak woods. Lovely views here to the south and towards the sea and the Pyrennes.

Keep to the small path, which crosses the larger cycle track and then runs parallel with it. Keep left until you reach a lovely col. le Ploch . Here there are beautiful views to the north of the Caroux, Monts de Orb, and also to the east. 

After the col, the track goes down to a  large area of tracks that converge. Take the wide track to your left with comes down to the col des Fontestes where you will find an old stone capitelle. Keep on this wide track down to the village.

Once in the village turn left and then you will see the castle. Follow the blue signs down though the village back to the car park.
