Cucuron

The walk leaves from the car park at the Cave Coopérative. Walkers and hikers, with the help of a leaflet, will explore Cucuron’s viticultural past. There are two circuits, one of which is 3.5 km and the other 4 km, using public roads and paths. Just follow the signposting (stencilled stylized bunch of grapes).

The western looped circuit is a longer (4km) and takes around 1 h 30 mins.
