Departure from the Croix du Rat car park
(S/E) Start as indicated in the practical information; this is the only wooden forest barrier.
Do not take theGR® trail that cuts across the Croix du Rat, which is your return route.
Follow the yellow markings, which also pass through a "forest campsite" to the D69. Cross it and continue on the right (for 120 m) following the markings to the forest barrier. The Trône trail is on the left (35 m from the forest barrier) and runs along the path that climbs up to Rey des Chauzes.
(1) Retrace your steps to the trail and take the path opposite, which climbs steeply to Rey des Chauzes.
(2) Turn left and continue north to reach Cluzeau Drystone Shelter Belet and visit it. Explanations provided on ONF signs.
(3) Continue following the yellow markings until you reach a track where you turn right at a right angle.
(4). At the crossroads (elevation 164), turn right onto the road.
(5) Take advantage of the passage to visit the sarcophagi (when you pass a wooded area on your left, the entrance to the site is about 30 metres from the start of this area). Continue to the next intersection.
(6) Take the road on the right and follow the yellow markings to the D69.
(7) Cross over and take the farm track opposite, with the forest on your right and the field on your left. Ignore a turn-off on the left, then another on the right just after, and continue until you see the galvanised gate of a farm.
(8) Take a path into the forest on the right and continue along it, following the yellow markings. Turn right at the first T-junction, cross the first road and continue straight ahead until you reach another road, crossing the hamlet of La Peyre. Turn right and then immediately left. Continue to follow the yellow markings.
(9) At the Fontaine de la Peyre (sign), follow the yellow markings to the hamlet of Les Brandes.
(10) Just before the crossroads, a large tree marks the path to take on the right, which joins theGR®36.
(11) Turn right onto the red and white markedGR®. At the road, continue straight ahead and do the same at a right-angle left turn. Go straight ahead at the next intersection and continue to the Croix du Rat (S/E).
