In Cessenon sur Orb, it is possible to take a pleasant break, as the path crosses the village through the centre. The shady terraces are waiting for you with open arms.
Before heading towards the bridge over the Orb, in the direction of the campsite, you can take a tour of the village through its most secluded streets, it's amazing!

Cross the bridge, the GR winds its way between the road and the housing estate and gently takes the direction of Roquebrun. You follow the Orb on the left bank to reach the D19 at the Maynard mill, a micro power station on the Orb. A few hundred metres on the famous D19 and a last small pass: you arrive on the heights of Roquebrun.

The entrance to the village is on the banks of the Orb. Near the mills (the oil mill, the cereal mill and the fuller, which was used to crush the broom stems), find the flood marker: impressive.
Make a long stop in this village: everything is a pretext for discovery. Watch some heritage videos online, visit the Mediterranean Garden, enjoy a swim in the Orb...

The path winds through the narrow streets of the village, before heading north towards the hamlet of Laurenque. The signs leave the tarmac road to take a wilder path on the right bank of the Ruisseau de Laurenque. You walk in the direction of the state forest of Saint Michel. After crossing the forest, there is a long and technical descent towards Le Poujol-sur-Orb.
