Trail description

A 4.4 km walk with about 190 m of climbing from the hamlet of Douch to the viewing table of the Caroux and on to the Roc du Caroux, past the Font Salesse refuge. Mont Caroux rises to 1,091 m in the Hérault. Its name means rocky, and its outline has earned it the nickname of the sleeping woman.
