On the way
From the centre of Methamis, follow the direction of Malemort-du-Comtat as you leave Methamis. Be careful, the road is narrow. In the centre of Mazan, take the narrow street (marled with a sign) opposite the Tourism Office to follow the itinerary.
Leaving Malemort-du-Comtat behind, you can take the option of going in the direction of Blauvac, following the cycling signs. However, for this option, you have to climb the road up to Blauvac.
Just before Mormoiron, coming from Mazan, on your right, up the hill, the chapel Notre-Dame des Anges. In Mormoiron you can either visit the geological museum or bath and relax at the Plan d'eau des Salettes.
