Hello

The route is marked in blue, but the markings are old and non-existent at some junctions, so you’ll need to use the IGN app or a map to make sure you don’t go astray.
There are sections along two busy country roads with fast-moving traffic
The wooded sections are lovely

A lovely walk in the shade. Perfectly manageable with children. We saw lots of flowers, insects, spiders… There could be a few more precise signposts here and there (we didn’t spot all the blue markings and had to follow our instincts a bit). We also did part of the route on the road rather than the marked path, as the latter was overgrown with tall grass and we were worried about ticks and snakes. A good time estimate. It took us 2½ hours to complete the circular route, taking our time to take photos and enjoy the scenery with the children. Please note: a short section of the route runs along a busy minor road where cars travel quite fast. The final section is quite steep.

We went on this hike in the rain, so it was very slippery – make sure you wear sturdy shoes!!! The signposting is inadequate.

This walk can be combined with others starting from the village. The route begins on a tarmac road, which isn’t to everyone’s taste, but it does give us a view of the Cantal mountains. I had a bit of trouble finding the path running parallel to the road at the start of the meadow, as well as the second path (you need to follow the tractor tyre tracks across a field).

We went for a walk in dry weather, but as it’s been raining a lot recently, the paths were very wet...
It’s best to wear wellies!!
The signposting is perhaps a bit sparse, as you often have to look hard for the blue markings.
A lovely walk

Twenty-seventh stage of the Camino de Santiago.

It must be said, the magnificent priory and its exceptional bell tower are worth the detour in their own right. It’s not without reason that the place is called Val Paradis.
