I had heard of this World Heritage site, but only thought of driving it; hiking it certainly took longer ;-)
Most of the walk was through pasture land with scattered trees - and the leaves are just starting to change
We stopped for lunch at one of the "lavognes," watering holes - these were mostly dry now, but fill with water in Winter.
We went through a number of gates; most of them were a type of single-person turnstile. We had quite a laugh when all 25 of us went through the first one!
I wasn't the only one to think of the "dimes" scene in Blazing Saddles (https://youtu.be/-RwEpUHynTc)...
Our rewards near the end of the hike:
A shady trail
And these views

The map at Les Rajols trailhead, about 1.5 hours of driving from Sète
While Sète was cool and foggy with marine layer, further inland, the day was sunny. It was cool enough if you were just standing around, but warm enough that I wish I had worn shorts for the hike :-\
