l'Arboussie, Roquebrun, a walk in the vineyards of the Languedoc.

l'Arboussie, Roquebrun. 10km / 3h. Blue markings. A glorious walk leaving from Roquebrun and heading up through beauitful vineyards with wonderful views of the Caroux and Espinouse and even down to the snowy Pyrenees. 

The route passes through lush garrigue, the whole route is lined   with an abundance of wild flowers of every colour. Bird song too and even some interesting signs about the grapes varieties.

Park in the little car park near the Tourist information and turn right onto the bridge. At the bridge turn right onto a little road which passes beside the beautiful river (you can also choose to take another track over the vineyards above if you prefer). 

You come to a left turn and take this uphill to another junction where you turn right beside a small mazet with signs for the walk.  Later you cross a junction and keep straight on up the hill ignoring any other side routes. You now find that the route bears to the left as it reaches the top with a beautiful view down to Roquebrun and over to the Caroux. 

You will then see a house at the top of the hill on your right but keep left hill and go down the hill past the pretty vineyard building. The route bear right at a no through sign and continues do the hill until it reaches a little road where you turn left. Keep on this road for a short while and soon you will see a left turn at the top of a rise. 

This track winds down through the vineyards until it comes to the D14. Cross the road and take the little track opposite. This bears to the left and keeps to the left of the river. You will come to the end of the wide track and continue on the smaller path to reach the beach area of the river with more lovely views of Roquebrun. 

At the end of the beach take the steps to your right and turn right to go back over the bridge and the car park. 

The views on this walk are just so beautiful and if I could bottle the sounds of birds and the rich smells of the flowers in the garrigue, the wonderful pines, I would, but it's such a lovely walk, I will leave it to you to enjoy.
