Berghe inférieur, RD 42, 06540 Fontan

Description

This is an easy walk with splendid views that will make you feel like kings of the world! From the top of the centuries-old chestnut groves of the Berghe hamlets, you'll understand just how important self-sufficiency was for the farmers.
After parking on the RD42 at the hamlet of Berghe inférieur, follow the narrow road for a few hundred metres, then take a path down through the chestnut trees on your right. Cross the torrent on a beautiful old bridge (there are some nice launes if you need to cool off), and head up the other side to join the road, marker 211, which has made a longer loop around the valley. Follow the road to your right as far as Bergue supérieur, beacons 32 and 33: don't miss a visit to the old hilltop hamlet and its little church, Notre-Dame de la Merci, rebuilt after 1781. Then retrace your steps and climb the path to your right at marker 32: the path runs parallel above the road, which you'll find again a little further on at marker 225. Take the road back to lower Berghe, which you must also take the time to discover, with its little church, Notre-Dame du Rosaire, also dating from the second half of the 18th century.
