Day 11 15th May 2026
It was another cold start to the day in Camprieu, with snow once again fluttering on Bluey. We felt nice and cozy inside with the heater on. Our plans to go up to Mt.Aigoual were cancelled as the clouds were well and truly covering the peak. The detour then sealed its fate. We drove over the Col de Faubel and then joined the D48 to go over the Col du Minier, where just after we deviated up the narrow, but luckily devoid of traffic, road to the Orgon Cascade. We braved the cold and went to explore along the walking path to the bridge atop of the falls set amongst the beautiful beech forest.
We headed for the town of Le Vigan, parking at the SuperU and doing a quick shop. Then to the office of tourism to get some information of the area.
We had our sights on the CIRQUE DE NAVACELLES. We had previously seen this extraordinary site in 2013 but from the other side. So we drove to the visitors centre just out of Blandas and walked to the several lookouts. It’s is a UNESCO and Grand site of France due to its ecological and geographical importance.
There are many hiking tracks to fully explore the area but the inclement weather made us move on up to ALZON, a quaint little village that kindly offers an aire for the camping-cars to stay overnight.
