Serviers-et-Labaume
Starting from Serviers-et-Labaume, in front of the town hall, take a moment to discover the local heritage highlighting the gestures of yesteryear, in particular with the presence of covered laundries. On the way, admire the Saint-Martin church, which dates from the 12th century and was rebuilt in the 17th century. Serviers is a village nestled at the foot of the Grand Serre d'Aureillac, a promontory rising to 204m. Labaume is in fact a small hamlet entrenched in the valley of the Seyne, a river that merges with Serviers. Go along the D136 and at the intersection with the Route d'Arpaillargues, turn right and then right again onto the Chemin de la Rivière, which is none other than the Bourdic, nicely called "le ruisseau des près". You will follow its course before forking on the D120.
Aubussargues
Go through this charming village nestled in the Uzétian scrubland, vineyards and forest. A typically Provencal setting from which many hiking trails start. The old centre of the village is worth a visit: the château d'Aubussargues, built in the 17th century, proudly displays its conical-roofed towers, while the narrow streets and Renaissance-style decor of the Co-Seigneurie d'Aubussargues are worth a visit. Then continue on the D120 on the Route de Collorgues. Turn right onto the "Chemin d'Aubussargues" until you reach Collorgues.
Collogues
It is with astonishment that you will discover, a few hundred meters from the center of the village, animal tracks 35 to 40 million years old! A slab with tertiary mammal footprints is preserved on the Aubussargues road, constituting an exceptional paleontological site. Indeed, the tracks of these animals are rare and there are only about sixty such sites in the world, including two in the Gard. Walk through the town, as if in time, to the town hall which was built in the castle of Alexandre Lacoste, a 19th century philanthropist who bequeathed his feudal castle and his fortune to his village. Before going on your way, make a stop at the Moulin Soulas, rue de la Mazade. This artisanal olive oil mill has been in operation for over 90 years: the olive oil produced here is mainly obtained from the Picholine, but also from other varieties such as the Rougette or the Ascolana. If you come between November and February, you can visit the olive oil mill during production, and the rest of the facilities all year round. The shop is an opportunity to leave with a bottle of traditional extra virgin olive oil. Take the direction of Mas Combet, then turn right onto the D114, the D186 and finally the D161 to Foissac.
Foissac
The last picturesque crossing on your route, Foissac has its stone houses in the countryside punctuated by woods and fields. The village is distinguished by its many wells and its old railway station, whose passenger building is now private. It is then interesting to look for the trace of the deferré way on the communal territory of Foissac, in particular along the road of "Mas Pré", the current D224. Go back in the direction of Marignac and Aigliers on the D267 to the starting point (be careful when crossing the D981).
