At the gates of the Petite Camargue, the Lunel Country is a territory with strong bullfighting and wine-making traditions in the heart of a remarkable natural area. The Vidourle, an unpredictable river, will take you to the oppidum of Ambrussum and its heritage treasures such as the Roman bridge of Ambroix, a remnant of the Via Domitia. Garrigues and vineyards are omnipresent and will accompany you at the beginning of your route to the new municipality of Entre-Vignes (merger of the villages of St Christol and Vérargues since 2019).
