Park in the village square.
(S/E) With the town hall on your left, head down the small street (Ruelle de l’Avescat). At house number 59, take the small paved slanting street leading uphill to the left, signposted ‘table d’orientation de la Tourasse’. Follow the path to the orientation table, which offers a magnificent view.
(1) Take the yellow and white-marked path which descends below the orientation table: enjoy the view as you walk down through the pine trees. At the signpost for “Colet du Ranc”, follow the signs for L’Abeurador on your right and join the departmental road. Walk down this road, turning left at the fork, and admire the view from the Collet du Ranc.
(2) Pass the Croix de Largenac and, at the large hairpin bend, take the path on your left. About a hundred metres further on, do not follow the yellow and white markings but keep to the left to stay on this wide path. You’ll be looking down on the hamlet of Le Blat; take in the view of the southern Ardèche and the Dent de Rez massif. You’ll emerge in the Bogues du Blat neighbourhood – a development of eco-friendly, council-owned homes shaped like chestnut husks – then take the road leading down to the right and go round the future honey farm.
(3) Take the small path on the left, marked in yellow and white and signposted ‘Sentier du facteur Louis Vedel’. Head downhill and enjoy the beautiful view of the Tour de Brison and the Beaume. Follow the path to the aqueduct, an ancient structure built by our forebears.
(4) Take the village road that leads down to the junction by the Relais des Brisons campsite. Keep left and walk alongside the Beaume.
(5) At the sign for “La Bisourne”, turn left towards Beaumont. Walk uphill to the hamlet of L’Elze and take the road leading uphill on your right, following the yellow and white markings. You are now on the final section of the Beaumont botanical trail. Take the path at the top of the hamlet and follow it to the water tank below the hamlet of Flacouze.
(6) Follow the village road leading uphill to your right, passing the “Flacouze” sign.
(7) At the next junction, take the path on the right which runs alongside the house, pass the water reservoir and rejoin the road you left earlier. Follow it to the right to return to the village square (S/E).
