From the east, go to Châteauneuf-de-Chabre and cross the village of Le Plan, heading west. Take the D942 towards Gorges de la Méouge and park in the Roman bridge car park.
In summer, as the car park fills up quickly, shuttle buses provide easier access to the gorges.
(S/E) Drive carefully along the D942 and descend via the GRP®, marked in yellow and red, to reach the Roman bridge over the Méouge.
(1) Cross the bridge over the Méouge. Then climb up to the right via a few hairpin bends, still on the GRP®, above the river.
(2) Take the time to look at the waterfall, but be careful at the edge of the cliff!
Follow the gorges overlooking the river, still on the GRP®®.
(3) At the crossroads, stay on the right bank (downstream) and continue on the GRP®. Note that it is easy to access the riverbank near the footbridge.
(4) Continue straight ahead and ignore the paths that climb to the left.
TheGRP® then winds along the river, mainly high up (cliff) but also at the water's edge from time to time. There are numerous small waterfalls to cross with a slight incline.
(5) At the Roche Coupée promontory, admire the view over the gorges and continue along the path opposite.
(6) Leave the path that climbs to the left and continue on theGRP®® opposite, which runs along the gorges towards Rocher du Château and then Saint-Pierre-Avez. Be careful: the descent of the Gourgouriou scree slope is quite steep and slippery. At Serre Beylon, leave the path that descends to the right and continue straight ahead for about 40 metres.
(7) Leave theGRP®® and take the track that climbs up to the left.
(8) At the crossroads, turn left towards Antonaves.
(9) Continue along the path opposite, marked in yellow. The path descends steadily. Ignore the poorly marked paths on the right at elevation 889 (Bergerie Gay) and on the left descending to "la Plaine".
(10) Continue straight ahead, taking the path heading north-east, still towards Antonaves.
(11) Continue along the track opposite.
(12) When you reach the "la Plaine" crossroads, turn left to descend towards the Gorges de la Méouge, heading west.
(13) After about 500 m, take the path that dips to the right, marked with a few yellow markers. The slope becomes steep in places. After a long descent, you will arrive above the Gorges de la Méouge, near the Romanesque bridge.
(1) Cross it again to return to the car park where you started (S/E).
