Departure from Loubaresse (Cantal) (Cantal)
Starting from Loubaresse, near an exit from the A75 motorway, this route follows the GR® de Pays circular Boucle de la Truyère and a variant that "turns" around the Truyère river to the village of Chaliers, which is well worth taking the time to explore. The route takes small local roads on both the left and right banks of this river with its wild gorges, crossing it twice via footbridges at Valadour and Terran.
The actual duration of the route is 4 hours and 40 minutes (GPS watch data), including a short stop in Chaliers.

Departure from Saint-Just (Cantal) (Cantal)
Setting off from the charming village of Saint-Just, numerous granite boulders are scattered here and there across the landscape. The most unusual is undoubtedly the Recoux Calvary, an imposing mass of granite topped by three majestic crosses, a testament to the skill of local stonemasons and to an era when men erected calvaries to the glory of God. On the way back, you cannot miss the Roc del Burre, better known as the Pierre Branlante. It’s up to you to find the right spot to make this 400-tonne boulder move with just one hand.
