Description

3km after leaving the village centre, don't miss a visit to the old village of Vière, also called the Vieil Escale, where fountains, cobblestone streets and old stones mark history.
Continue on the track, leaving the Champ de Vin farm on your right. A little further on, leave the common markings for circuit no. 8 to take the track on the left towards Volonne. A path then replaces the track. After passing near the old villages of Vignorgues, go back up a new track that will guide you to Volonne. The return to the Escale will be via the Tour du Lac path.
