Cramoix
November 3, 2024, Le Tour Carbonnière – boucle au départ d'Aigues-Mortes

Great walk along the canal to the Tower, to finish in the ramparts of Aigues Morte. In Aigue-Morte to park, I recommend the car park located "chemin du trentenaire" much larger and close to the starting point. At point number 5 stay on the gravel road because on the path on the left, at the end, the access is fenced.
