Hiking - Algues via Fougayrolles

An accessible, family-friendly hike to discover the Château d'Algues, a ruined medieval fortress perched on its hill, offering stunning panoramic views over the Cévennes foothills.

Starting from Saint-Jean-du-Bruel, the gradual climb to the Château d’Algues begins with a walk through the forest. The ruins of the medieval structure stand proudly, facing the Causse Bégon, a small limestone plateau, and the first ridges of the Cévennes. Let yourself be tempted by this delightful hike on the edge of the Grands Causses region!
