Chemin de la Memoire, Rouvials, near Premian a walk in the Languedoc

Chemin de la Memoire, Rouvials, near Premian. Easy, 5.6km. Blue markers. Take the D176E5 from Premian to Rouvials and park on the bend just before the hamlet. 

Walk up to the hamlet and take the forest track as it winds to the left up hill. At a bend turn right and you will pass the first house used by the resistance during WW2. It's only a ruin but all part of the history of this delightful trail.

At the next bend you come to a hut near a stream, where you turn right again, taking the middle path. Head down the nice little shaded trail which passes the second stone house dedicated to the men of the resistance. 

This one had a roof, table and fireplace, it gives a good idea of what it must have been like for those hiding there. The track descends to join another path where you turn left and reach a beautiful view of the valley on one side and the mountain on the other. 

Shortly you will return to the road where you will find your car. A super little walk for a hot day. A beautiful deer strayed onto the road just as we were parking our car.
