The walk starts in Rochepaule, in a small, shaded square next to the cemetery, near a memorial to the Resistance.
(S/E) With your back to the cemetery, head towards the village centre. Turn left at the first junction, walk past the post office and the town hall, then head towards Les Roches de Peyrhomme (several signs), turning right towards the fire station.
(1) Turn left (there’s a sign here too) and pass beneath the houses in La Selle a little further on, arriving at the famous rocks 500 metres after setting off.
(2) After taking in the view, continue along the signposted path, heading eastwards uphill.
(3) Join a stony track at the hamlet of Beyri; follow it to the right, following the signposts. Pass the localities known as Veillet and La Rouveure.
(4) At the Fork in the road, thePR®® continues to the left. Leave it by turning right. After 300 m, there is a sharp bend to the right, then the path descends. 200 m further on, there is a sharp bend to the left. Continue downhill to La Ratte.
(5) Option to shorten the route (see Practical Information). Follow the road that starts at the farm for 300 m.
(6) Take the shortcut path on the right, and rejoin the road, which you should follow to the right to cross the bridge.
(7) Just after the bridge, turn right onto the road, which becomes a track and runs alongside the river for about 3 km.
(8) Keep to the right and cross the bridge. In Dard, there’s a rather curious house.
(9) Ignore the track leading uphill to the left, towards Saint-Jeure-d’Andaure. 1 km further on, a stately fortified house stands on the slope of the opposite hillside: Chazeau de l’Ubac.
(10) Ignore the path leading uphill to the left towards Les Chazeaux, and carry on straight ahead. Cross a small bridge and, about 200 metres further on, take a path on the right that leads down towards the river. Please note: there are no signposts; this is a private track, recommended by Léon, its very welcoming owner, who used to live above a sort of viewpoint overlooking the valley.
(11) Take ‘his’ footbridge, or the ford if you’re not confident. The path climbs steeply; continue for 500 m. Pass through an old fence, then carry on for another 300 m until you see the path turn left.
(12) Leave the track and follow a narrower path which joins the D214; follow this road to the village and the starting point (S/E).
At one point, it crosses tall, poorly maintained broom bushes... with some brambles. Be careful when the vegetation returns to its spring growth rate!
