Departure from the Roque Saint-Christophe car park.
(S/E) From the car park, carefully follow the D66 towards Le Moustier. At the junction with the D706, turn right, cross the bridge over the Vézère and reach the next fork in the right-hand bend.
(1) Leave the tarmac road and follow the gravel path on the right, marked in yellow. Reach the bank of the Vézère and follow it to the campsite, ignoring all turnings on the left.
(2) Turn left along the campsite, then turn right and enter the campsite. Cross the campsite and return to the entrance.
(3) Cross the D706 carefully and, turning right/left, take the path that starts next to an electrical transformer. Begin the climb into the woods and reach an inverted Y-junction.
(4) Turn right towards Côte de Jord (green markings). At the top of the hill, you will reach a road that crosses the hamlet of Le Chaban.
(5) Continue to the right, ignoring a street on the left and then one on the right, and at the exit of the hamlet, continue along a path. This path climbs and then turns right, passing by a house. Cross the access road and continue straight ahead until you reach the tarmac road and the paragliding area.
(6) Cross the road and follow the path along it before returning to its right-hand side. You will come to an orientation table and picnic tables.
(7) Take the path that descends to the right and, at the edge of the meadow, continue on the path to the right until you reach the bottom of the valley.
(8) At the crossroads, turn right, cross the D706 with caution and continue straight on to the Eiffel Bridge.
(9) Cross the Vézère river on the bridge, then immediately turn left onto the small path that runs alongside the river. You will reach a fork at the start of a small valley on the right.
(10) Turn right and climb up the valley into the forest (marked path but no signposts). Continue straight ahead until you reach the edge of a field. Continue to the right and you will come to a road.
(11) Turn left (GR®36), at the next crossroads, turn right and reach the hamlet of Béarnais. Continue along the path and keep right at each intersection. Enter the undergrowth and follow the valley downhill.
(12) Once you reach the bottom of the path, continue along the bottom of the valley, then the path veers left and joins a four-way crossroads.
(13) Go straight ahead and follow theGR®36to Peyzac-le-Moustier. Cross the hamlet and follow the Route des Biquettes uphill. You will come to a fork at the end of the left-hand bend.
(14) Take the path on the right, then at the fork immediately after, take the left. Descend to the bottom of the valley and, at the bottom, leave theGR® and continue to the right to return to the car park at Roque Saint-Christophe (S/E).
A very beautiful hike, with varied landscapes and physical challenges (nothing insurmountable, in any case!).
