A beautiful hike starting from Ayssènes in the little-known Tarn region, culminating at the Notre-Dame-du-Désert chapel. Beautiful panoramic views of the Gorges du Tarn and the Lévézou hills. Despite numerous shaded sections, avoid doing this hike in the heat of the day or in wet weather due to the significant elevation gain.

Partly forest walk down into the Nauze and Viaur valley where the Versailles site is located: a little paradise by the stream, ideal for a picnic, a spot of fishing or simply a break.

Short, shaded walk along the Monastery section of the Briane and heath. Then, walk through Combelles Park with its horses and activities. On leaving, a path will take you to a limestone plateau and finally, the last part towards Istournet and its small lake will guide you to the Banocres plateau, which offers superb views of Rodez and the Aubrac.

The city of Rodez, former capital of Rouergue, perched on its "piton" (peak), is undoubtedly worth a more in-depth visit. However, during a stopover, this walk allows you to discover some of the historic centre's most iconic buildings. You can also add on a visit to the Soulages Museum.
