There's a wine shop where you can buy a glass of wine with a small snack. It's worth stopping by. Plus, there's a lovely outdoor seating area with a view of Pic St. Loup.

Cazevieille is a small, characterful village (beautiful stone houses around the town hall), with scattered housing, best known for being the starting point of the trail that leads to the summit of Pic St Loup, which overlooks it. There are few shops apart from a wine bar and an organic bakery that appears to be closing, but it's a welcome stop for hikers and cyclists at the shaded fountain next to St Etienne Church.

Beautiful walk around Pic St Loup

Some parts are steep and slippery. The loop itself is no longer feasible as it is, on 3 occasions we had to turn back or choose another route because the route was no longer accessible (vegetation too dense, privatization of the passage)
