Offers a nice view of the surrounding area

A high point on the circuit. Rocky decent into Castelnau or very steep switchbacks for the brave !

A unique village in France, rich in cultural and architectural heritage. And it's a great place to live all year round. A word from a Piscénois.

Cirque de Mourèze is a dramatic 300–340 ha bowl-shaped valley sculpted into dolomitic limestone over some 160 million years . Hard dolomite has withstood erosion while surrounding softer rock was worn away, leaving tall, fantasy‑shaped pinnacles up to 30 m high. Over 70 named formations—like “The Oracle,” “The Sphinx,” “The Guardian,” and “Cerberus”—invite hikers to play at geology meets imagination. The underlying terrain is a fine dolomite sand known locally as grésou, resulting from ongoing erosion . Multiple marked trails (~1 to 4 h loops) guide visitors through close-up exploration or panoramic viewpoints. The Courtinals belvedere provides sweeping views over the cirque and an orientation table to help identify the formations. It’s part of Natura 2000 conservation space and under biotope protection The dry calcareous soil hosts Mediterranean scrub—rosemary, immortelle, multi‑flora heather—and seasonal wildflowers such as arméria de Girard

Mourèze is a small, picturesque village in the Hérault department of Occitanie. Nestled at the edge of a steep amphitheater of rock pillars, the village features narrow stone streets, a Gothic church, and the ruins of a small castle perched on a rocky spur. You will find a couple of restaurant, a shop selling local food produce and doubling as a tapas bar as well as a creperie (pancake) also serving sandwiches and drinks. Mourèze makes a perfect midpoint for a circular walk from Liausson: it blends dramatic geology from the Cirque de Moureze, sweeping lake views on the Lac du Salagou, and a peaceful village ambience, with several services.

There are almost no tourist trap shops in the old town center, but there are art galleries and local craft shops of all kinds. This place is very typical and has retained its soul thanks to its pedestrian aspect, its narrow streets, and its old facades. Visit while strolling.

Mourèze is a pretty little village

A beautiful view to start the hike at the Belvédère de Mourèze. You can see the charming village on one side, and the Cirque on the other!
