(5) Do not continue up the overgrown jeep track but go right and then immediately left on a narrow path through the pines with a moss-covered wall to the left. Continue upwards (the wall goes off to the left) through mixed woodland and then chestnut trees, going up man-made log steps. The path meets a wider track (to the left is‘privé’). Continue right on the main track which zigzags up the hill. At the top ignore the track going left but continue round the contour of the hill on a flatter path which then starts to descend. On the corner, there is a gate and a sign on the right saying‘Sentier Communale de Vigan/Avèze’(40mins). The path goes into the open and narrows as it continues through bushes with a vegetation-covered wall left. There is now a good view of the Roc de L’Esparon over on the right (see Walk 3).

The walled narrow track continues down past an orchard into a shallow little valley with a stream flowing through and a number of vegetable gardens, each with its own wooden hut. The path becomes a grassy jeep track and continues over the pretty little stream at the Pont de Mousse and up to the right along the other side of the valley. It is interesting to note that these allotments are well irrigated as the water from the stream has been diverted into narrow channels between them.
