HistoryDourbies
The village of Dourbies was built on a ridge to maximise the flatter soils for cultivation. Farming having declined in the valley, fields that were once cultivated have now been urbanised, and broom heath is invading more and more land.
Description
Starting at "DOURBIES-Église" head towards "Place des 3 Ermites", before going down to the river, crossing the footbridge and climbing back up to "La Clède".
1) At "La Clède", take the road on the left for 250m, then go up by the track on the right till you reach "Montredon".
2) At "Montredon", turn right and go down to "La croix de Lagrinier".
3) There follows the technical descent to get back to "La Clède" before you take the same path as on the outbound leg to return to the village via "Place des 3 Ermites" and then "DOURBIES-Église".
This circuit is taken from the guidebook Massif de l’Aigoual, published by the communauté de communes Causses Aigoual Cévennes as part of the collection Espaces naturels gardois and the label Gard Pleine Nature.
