Start from Creissels Town Hall, where there are several car parks.
(S/E) Walk up the right bank of the stream that runs through the town.
(1) You can't come to Creissels without visiting the waterfall. The path is not marked, but it's easy to find: just follow the stream. Towards the end, the slope becomes steeper and the path branches off, but all paths lead to the waterfall. Take the easiest one.
(2) Enjoy the majesty of the waterfall, then retrace your steps.
(1) Back at the fork, you will find Monsieur Clapassou's signpost (see photo). Turn right and then immediately right again towards "Les Combes Hautes". Follow the small streets uphill. At each intersection, ignore the streets on the left; Monsieur Clapassou will show you the way.
(3) At Les Combes Hautes, Monsieur Clapassou will show you the way, but just in case he fails, take the path on the right that runs along the hillside towards a windsock at the edge of the plateau, which is the goal of your climb. Continue in a south-south-westerly direction. The view opens up onto the viaduct, the town of Millau and the Causses Rouge and Noir.
When you reach theGR®71D, turn right towards the west. You have now completed the bulk of the climb. Further on, a sign recounts the recent history of Larzac.
When we climbed up in mid-May, thousands of flowers filled the air with their fragrance... You are now at the highest point of your route. Enjoy the landscape and continue in the same direction until the next intersection.
(4) Here again, Monsieur Clapassou is adamant. You must turn right. The path describes a wide circular loop under high cliffs. Then it continues to descend gently.
(5) Cross the small road and continue straight ahead. Techno-phobes can rejoice, as this is one of the few places on the route where you cannot see the Millau Viaduct. The path veers north.
(6) Go down the road on the left.
(7) At the crossroads, we leave Monsieur Clapassou behind and turn right. But if you have time, you can continue to follow him and do the circular in the village (allow an extra hour).
Take the path on the right that passes to the right of a calvary that is clearly visible from the intersection.
At the next intersection, take the marked path on the right, which will take you back to the Roquebelle path. Turn right until you reach the crossroads you passed on the way there.
(1) Retrace your steps to return to the town hall car park (S/E).
