Etape 19 Gilhoc sur Ormèze Désaignes

A fairly wild hike, with little tarmac, from the countryside to the ridges, with goodGR® yellow-white country signposting.

Walk in Gilhoc-sur-Ormèze. During this circular walk, you can admire the Château du Bessin and the Château des Boscs, both of which are inhabited, as well as the small Château de Dol and the ruins of the Château de Solignac.

A pleasant, fairly flat route with little tarmac and some lovely views in beautiful countryside. The natural surroundings are stunning and the route is varied. The only downside is the 500 m stretch along the D533 at the end of the route to return to the starting point. It is possible to reach point 1 from point 8 to avoid the D533, adding an extra kilometre. Up to (6), the signposting is adequate, but after that it is sometimes discreet, so pay attention. A map and GPS are useful on this section.

Route via the Roman Bridge and Saint-Martin de Galéjas Chapel. Yellow markings.

Set off to explore Saint-Sylvestre with its forests and Ardèche culinary landscapes, magnificent views and picturesque hamlets.

A stretch of up to 1,000 m between the regions of Lamastre and Vernoux in the Ardèche mountains.

A beautiful hike through the forests above Boucieu-le-Roi in northern Ardèche. What's more, this charming village is a stop on the Ardèche train (Mastrou) and/or rail bike route. A visit to the village is therefore recommended. This hike can be shortened, as it consists of two circular loops that return to the village.

A pleasant walk in the Ardèche countryside, sometimes on small paved roads, but also on beautiful forest paths. In Champis - La Bâtie de Crussol, a short detour will take you to the Pierre Branlante (rocking stone), then on the way back, you will see some megaliths in the meadows.
