Old Collet walk

Description

The walk takes you to the centre of the old village using the former Royal road, which was once the only track from Chamborigaud to Saint German-de-Calberte. This is a walk through the historical heart of Le Collet-de-Dèze with its old Cevenol houses, to the temple (Protestant church) built in 1646 and the top of the Puech de la Sabaterie hill. The village of Le Collet-de-Dèze is located on a strategic communication route linking the Cévennes with the coast. It has been shaped throughout its existence by floods, so-called Cevenol episodes, and also bears witness to the history and memory of the Camisard War. This walk has eleven numbered information panels.
