Around Revens

An easy hike on the south-eastern edge of the Causse Noir. Villages and Causse landscapes await you and, with a bit of luck, a few bison! The signposting is very reliable.

Description of the walk

Park in the car park near the church in Revens.

(S/E) With your back to the church, take the path on the right towards La Granarié. At the three-way junction, keep left. Cross the tarmac road twice and reach the hamlet of La Granarié.

(1) Continue eastwards. Further on, ignore a path on the right and continue straight on until you reach the D159 (cross).

(2) Turn right and continue for about 300 metres.

(3) Leave the road and take a path on the left towards La Claparouse.

(4) Cross the road and walk through the hamlet. Further on, walk alongside the Randals Bison farm and continue to the access road. Turn left, then take the D159 on the right towards Lanuéjols for about 1.5 km.

(5) At the crossroads, follow the signs for La Foulquarié on the left. Cross the hamlet and walk for about 200 m.

(6) As the road (D159a) veers to the right, take the path (GR®62) on the left along the Ravin des Anglades to the Ruassou farm junction.

(7) Just before the only house in Ruassou, take the path on the left that leads back to Revens.

(8) Cross the Ruisseau de Garène stream, then climb up towards the Cadenas farm. Continue to the crossroads (cross).

(9) Turn right towards Revens.

(10) Turn left to go directly to the car park (S/E).

A great route when the sun is shining in winter (and there's no wind!), as there isn't much vegetation. You can enjoy the typical plateau landscape, which is perhaps a little monotonous. There is no designated car park in Revens (we parked in a field near the town hall).

No problem doing the hike, excellent signage (yellow markings) and signposts at every intersection with directions and mileage.
The scenery is superb. A hike worth doing.
The only minor issue is parking in Revens, where parking is prohibited at the church except for disabled people.
