Circular through the hills above Saint-Didier-sur-Doulon via Cenat and Celhac.

The hike starts from the village of Saint-Didier-sur-Doulon. The car park is located at the bottom of the village, on the banks of the Doulon. This route is a personal itinerary and does not necessarily follow the official markings.

(S/E) Go back up to the village square, pass in front of the inn, and follow the road to the left until you reach the Croix de Cenat.

(1) Take the path on the right, skirt the D19 and come out onto a small road at a place called La Baraque.

(2) Turn right, cross the D19 carefully , and reach the hamlet of Cenat.

(3) Turn left, cross the hamlet, passing in front of the chapel dedicated to Saints Abdon and Sennen. A bull issued by Pope Clement XI in 1707 placed the chapel of Cenat under the protection of Abdon and Sennen, Persian princes, prisoners and martyrs in Rome. Continue to the road leading to Le Mazel.

(4) Take the road on the right towards the hamlet: if you need sugar, you can find it in the form of honey at the village beekeeper's. Cross the hamlet in an S-shape and ignore the first path on the right as you leave.

(5) About 40 metres further on, turn right onto the track that leads to Ceilhac. You will come to a crossroads where you should ignore the paths on either side and continue straight ahead for about 100 metres until you reach a wider path.

(6) Continue straight ahead to reach Ceilhac and come to a crossroads opposite the wash house. The house opposite was the village school, which closed in 1962. The word "École" (school) is still visible on the wall.

(7) Take the road on the left and note the dry stone walls of the village wall. When you reach the fork, leave the tarmac road on the left and continue straight ahead, following the path through the meadows until you reach a three-way junction.

(8) Continue straight ahead until you reach a tarmac road.

(9) Follow this road in the same direction until you reach a crossroads.

(10) Take the second path on the left, which is actually a wide forest track, and go straight down to the hamlet of La Fage, located on the edge of the D19.

(11) After carefully crossing the D19, take the path opposite, which passes behind the house. This path was used by schoolchildren and other pedestrians to reach the village of Saint-Didier. It was abandoned for many years and was reopened in 2025 for a hike organised by the municipality. It is very passable. This leads to Route de la Vernède (D66).

(12) Turn right and head for the car park (S/E).

Take your provisions with you because, apart from honey at Le Mazel, there are no other places to buy supplies.

(3) Cenat Chapel.

(7) Ceilhac wash house and school.
