Quite stony tracks, on gravel it's a bit bumpy, but very nice and allows you to leave the Montpellier urban area through the forest.

Hello everyone. A few years ago with my wife we enjoyed doing this walk and walking along the edge of the LEZ. Now big disappointment, a lot of places classified as green spaces force us to get off our bikes and walk. The panels rue de la Draye prove it and multiply. (MERIC PARK, NAUTICAL BASE AT THE EDGE OF THE LEZ and so on. By bike now we will be more on walking assistance than on our mount. See you soon with great pleasure. Christian.

Crossing of the Lez possible when the river is low, on gravel or mountain biking. Be careful not to slip!
