Difficult
Departure from Le Truel (Aveyron)
This route alternates between climbs (sometimes steep...), descents (just as steep...!), narrow paths and tracks, and a bit of road too.
You pass through steep-sided valleys and very pretty hilltop villages, and most of the time you walk along a balcony-like path above the Tarn, a river with emerald-green waters (well, almost...).
