La Baume Cornillane is an exceptional site due to its geography and history. La Raye is a superb viewpoint: Baronnies, Vercors, Roc de Toulaud, Tête de la Dame and Plateau d'Ambel. The ridges are superb.

Not for those allergic to tarmac! A pleasant and varied hike, some sections of which follow small tarmac roads, as is often the case in the Ardèche.
