Hiking Trail: "The Mercurol Heights"

Description

A gentle walk in the Mercurol hillside.
View over the Tain l'Hermitage/Chanos-Curson valley, the Mercurol tower and Conflans Castle. Go up towards the church. At the top of a staircase, head south, passing to the left of a water tank. On the hillside, take a dirt track, pass under the high-voltage power line and descend to Château de Conflans (45 mins.). Drive around the castle, then around the Chanos-Curson cemetery. At Maubet, take a sunken path up to the ridge. Head north for 30 minutes. At the Veaunes cemetery, go down the D115 for 250m and turn right. Join a path in the woods, then cross the D115 again: return on a hillside path beneath the Mercurol tower.
