At the top of the Madeleine, are the remains of a former priory of the XI century. All around, you can enjoy a magnificent panorama. There are many disagreements about the name of the religious building and the summit that hosts it. No technical difficulty for the climb, the path is generally very stony but largely achievable with a bike or trike trekking.

Great view of the Villeneuve salt flats on one side and the whole of Montpellier on the other, plus the Pic St Loup

After a somewhat steep climb on a slightly rutted path, you discover the so-called Madeleines chapel surrounded by a magnificent 360° panorama.
It is possible to go back down via mountain bike paths.
