Nice 2.5 km climb from Le Martinet. At the top, the pass is the confluence of several forest tracks that allow you to explore the surrounding mountains, one of which, the Chemin de Trélis, allows you to reach Rochessadoule.

This church impresses with its clear Romanesque architecture and the tranquil atmosphere within. The restored apse with its trompe-l'oeil paintings and the harmonious proportions of the building are worth seeing. A tranquil place with historical significance – simple yet expressive.

⛪ Church of Notre-Dame-et-Saint-Michel – Goudargues The church in the heart of Goudargues was originally part of a 12th-century Benedictine monastery. It is an example of Romanesque architecture, with a striking apse, a simple nave, and two towers with pointed spires. After several collapses, it was extensively restored in the 19th century. Particularly noteworthy are the chapter house, which is now used as an exhibition space, and the historical works of art in the interior. The church is a listed cultural monument and continues to play an important role in the religious and cultural life of Goudargues.
