Lookout Anduze Fort Rohan

The lookout of "Fort Rohan" is located on the eastern side of Anduze. It is at 334 meters above sea level, exactly 200 meters above Anduze [5]. Of course, this also promises a great view down on Anduze. But that is not all. From up here, you also have a great view in the Cevennes in west and north as well as in the south and east.

We park parallel to the Route d'Ales at the height of [1] the Chemin du Bois. (about 100 meters further on you can see a bus stop. That’s where we took shelter in a parallel running road). Of course, you could also start from Anduze.

From here the small street "Chemin du Bois" hike leads 70 m uphill. Then the street turns right, and you follow another 60m. From here on you hike along a private property on a gritty and rocky path (yellow marking). After about 5 minutes, and another 150-200 meters you meet a dirt road (called Pastourelle, located 259 meters above sea level) [3]. Here you turn left. According to the sign, you walk approximately another 900 meters to Fort Rohan. After a further 200 meters, you see another sign (Babylone, 269 meters above sea level). Here you find the directions to Fort Rohan [4]. The information board also provides information on the specifics of the rock formation of "Falaises d'Anduze", its flora and the protected bats.
