The botanical trail of Tréguier

Description

This walk will enable you to discover the village of Moustiers with its terrace crops sustained by dry-stone walls called "restanques" and olive plantations. Roaming the botanical trail of Tréguier is to discover twenty information boards on different plant species of the area. It is walking up to a promontory overlooking the valley of Angouire with a remarkable view of lake Sainte-Croix. Coming out the car park of the heights of Moustiers, go straight to the cemetery. Pass it and go towards the Chapel of St. Anne. Now head to the terrace crop area. After the olive groves, continue under the oaks in the middle of the restanques. Walk on flat ground for 1km. 1 - Then gradually go up on the left. 2 - At the crossroads, climb the path on the left and roam through a new decking area. Cross the ravine of Courchon and join after a slight rise in the woods, the rocky outcrop overlooking the valley of Angouire. Follow the signs and stay on the ledge to watch the valley of Angouire below (vertiginous path!). 3 - The same route is used for the return.
