The Combe des Bourguignons is easily accessible on foot; there is a car park and a shaded picnic area at the entrance.
A digital educational trail at the Combe des Bourguignons uses geolocated missions and quizzes via the Explorama smartphone app.
A 1.9 km path at the Combe des Bourguignons has been open to the public since 2002. L’âne Rit offers walks on marked paths around the Mazet or in the Combe des Bourguignons.
A large part of the Marguerittes garrigue is classified as a ZNIEFF and ZICO and consists of forests of Aleppo pines and holm oaks.
