Foret des Ecrivains Combattants.

Foret des Ecrivains Combattants. A lovely walk through forests with 2 picnic areas. 5.5km. 2 H .Easy. The area contains memorials for French writers who have died in combat. 

Park in the large parking area and walk down to the cross (first picnic area). Follow the GR7 down to a second picnic area. This is a lovely wooded walk in chestnut and pine trees. The picnic area is cool and is also the start of a sports/fitness course. 

Now turn right and follow the path until it takes another right turn and then winds up on zig zags to gain a magnificent high point with lovely views of the Orb valley down to the coast and across to the Caroux. Here are views also of the gorge de Madale and the col behind it, with views to the north. Now continue until a junction taking the higher path up to the small road. 

There are more stone memorials here once again. Cross the road at a roundabout and continue up to another viewpoint, this time of the Monts de Orb. The views are stunning here and the air is cool and breezy. Keep on the GR7 once again which you will find on your right. 

This will take you back to the road near the car parking area. http://www.randodoc.com/?page_id=4116
