At Plan de Lacan, at the crossroads of several Gardiole trails, these cisterns intended for forest fire defense have been transformed into true works of street art as part of the Cit’Art project, led by the Département de l’Hérault. Since 2017, twelve cisterns in the massif have served as canvases for the creations of several artists from the Line Up collective.

At an altitude of 224 m, the Pioch de Camille is one of the main peaks of the Gardiole massif. A watchtower occupies its summit and the view extends widely over the surrounding reliefs, the Hérault plain and, to the south, the Mediterranean coast. This limestone relief, which today dominates the plains and the coast, was formed in the Jurassic period in a former shallow sea. The limestone layers thus deposited were then uplifted and deformed by tectonic movements, before being shaped by erosion to give the massif its current form.

At the place called “ Le Badaud ”, several Gardiole trails converge around this cistern, a true landmark in the heart of the garrigue. From this crossroads, the trails allow access to different sectors of the massif: to the north, the Saint-Félix-de-Montceau abbey; to the south, the ridges overlooking the coast and the Vic-la-Gardiole lagoon.

This sector offers a climb on a limestone ground characteristic of the massif. The view opens up magnificently over the Thau lagoon and its shellfish farming tables. On a clear day, you can also enjoy a panorama of the Combe de Saint-Félix and the ruins of the ancient Benedictine abbey of Saint-Félix-de-Montceau.
