Peyriac-de-Mer, Aude.

Our second walk of the day over on the other side of the Etang. We drove over the causeway to walk along the shores edge and up onto the top where the views are wonderful in all directions. The walk continued by turning left at the top and taking the little path along the edge through the rosemary and then trees to a place where you can if you wish climb up to the high point or continue on to where the path turns left again and then returns down to the Etang once more. The birds were beautiful all around the area. Pelicans, egrets and waders. Beautiful. I was even treated to a few orchids, but mostly it was a day for rosemary, thyme, turpentine and bay; a smelling deliciously in the warm sunshine. 23c. A nice easy circuit with no difficulties, taking about 40 minutes.
