La Charbonniere, Fos. 6.5 km 2H. Easy. A pretty walk through the vineyards in the Languedoc

La Charbonniere, Fos. 6.5 km 2H. Easy. Blue. Take the D136 to Fos. A lovely little walk perfect for family walks. It goes through lovely vineyards and woods before a nice little route around the lovely village. 
Park at the Mairie and follow the blue markers up to La Rue des Hortensias. Turning left for some lovely views of the Caroux and the Avant Monts. 


Turn left again and the little road continues down past vineyards on either side of the road and with views towards Roquessels until it reaches the D136 again. Cross the road and take the track opposite that very soon turns into a little path. 

The path turns left and down through vineyards again to a larger track which joins the road once more. 

At the road you have a choice to turn right to the picnic area and information boards but there it's much there so I would suggest that you just turn left at the road onto the path that doubles back and goes up first through vineyards and then woods to return to the village. 

Once you reach the village follow the blue markers right around the village to the site of the Charcoal burners. It's very interesting with lots of information boards and so nice to see the village from different angles. 

The route returns to the village on the top road and passes several wine production buildings and a chance to taste the wine along the route if you are interested. It's a pretty little route and suitable for families.
