Departing from Le Malpas, the tour takes you around the Ensérune hill. You start on the northern slope, bordering the Etang de Montady, which was drained in the Middle Ages. The route then crosses the Soustres wine estate, before passing through vineyards and olive groves to reach the southern slope. You then descend to the Régismont le Haut estate and return to Malpas via the towpath along the Canal du Midi.
At the beginning or end of the circuit, don't hesitate to climb up to the Ensérune oppidum, from where you can enjoy an incredible panorama of the region and the dry pond of Montady-Colombiers, and why not visit the Ensérune archaeological site and museum (round trip: 3km, ascent 130m).

From the parking lot, drive past the Maison du Malpas. At the crossroads, cross the lane over the Canal du Midi.

Access to Ensérune museum and archaeological site (admission charge): take the road opposite (2.5 km round trip). 2: Go down the small road on the right. At the bottom, take the small road on the left to reach the edge of the dry Montady pond. Turn left again on the tarmac road between the pond and the oppidum. Pass under the bridge, then reach the Soustre estate. On return: turn right to reach the Maison du Malpas, and the parking lot.

Stay on the marked trail, respecting private property and local heritage.
Avoid hiking during the hottest hours in summer.
Take the time to climb up to the oppidum to visit the site (check opening times beforehand) or simply to enjoy the superb panoramic view.
