1. Le Caylar. Begins at a mountain village and takes you cycling down through ‘Lord of the Rings’ type scenery.

An optional extension takes you to La Couvertoirade a delightful hidden gem, rightly deserving of its local reputation as a mini - Carcassonne.
2. La Rouquette. Glorious cycling through endless vineyards and idyllic hilltop villages such as Les Salces and St Privat. The route takes you past the priory of St Michel de Grandmont and its famous Dolmens, where you could stop for a visit and refreshments. Beautiful views over Lodève on the lower sections.
3. St Jean de- la -Blaquière. This pretty village, with its famous wines, is the starting point for a journey that takes you into the very heart of the Languedoc. You will pass the hamlets of Loiras and le Bosc, whose superb Domaine du Vieux Clocher regularly features on our Menu du Jour.
4. Lac Salagou. A choice of many routes, all taking you back to Ballade des Pins after a day on the beach. You can make the journey scenic and varied and have it as the main focus of your day, or take the straightforward route and make the lake your main activity. Snacks and restaurant available at the lake.
5. Lac Salagou. An established circular trail of 27 kilometres taking you on a tour around the whole lake, allowing you to fully appreciate the strange red earth and bizarre rock formations of this region. Opportunities for swimming throughout. The quick journey back to the B&B might be most appropriate at the end of your day.
