A beautiful village on a rocky ridge, the Ibie with its turquoise waters, a stone arch, escarpments, superb views and a botanical trail.
This trail combines a beautiful village clinging to a rocky ridge, passages along the banks of a river with crystal-clear turquoise water and then through a holm oak forest; a delicate stone arch at the top of steep slopes offering stunning views over the Ibie valley; and a botanical trail with nearly 200 species of Mediterranean plants.

Follow the signs north. Follow the signs for "VERASOIE - Musée Magnanerie". This museum exhibits the most significant episodes in the history of silkworm rearing and shows the complete cycle of a silkworm farm.
Shortly before the museum, take a small passage on the right that zigzags downwards. Then continue down the narrow road until you reach a crossroads.
  1. At the signpost "Sous la Magnanerie", head south (right) towards "Ferrière". Stay on the road for just over 500 m, then take the "chemin de Ferrière" which goes off to the left. Stay on this path and do not take the left-hand paths.
  2. At the "Ferrière" post, take the track to the left, signposted "Bois ND d'Ajude". After skirting the river for 1.15 km, take the path that climbs to the left (the second one after the ford).
  3. After climbing for 1.15 km, take the path on the right. This is not signposted but is marked by one or more small cairns of piled stones. Walk back and forth as far as the delicate stone arch of the Ranc de l'Arc. Once back on the wide path, turn right and follow the markings. Stay on this ridge path and take the 4th path down to the left. Go straight on at the 1st junction and turn right at the 2nd. At the bottom of the valley, go up 10m to the right.
  4. At the "Bois de ND d'Ajude" sign, follow the signs for "Salastre (0.9km)/ Lagorce". Take the path that goes up to the left.
  5. From the Notre Dame d'Ajude chapel, continue on the path that leads back down to the road.
  6. At the "Salastre" signpost, follow the road to the left to get back to the "Sous la Magnanerie" signpost, from where you have to go back up to the right to the start, from where you can visit the beautiful village of Lagorce. Stroll through the narrow streets and climb up to the platform, which offers a beautiful panoramic view.
