Well-marked trail...the round trip to see the wash house is not worth it...no maintenance, the place is overgrown with vegetation. A few sections on small roads, but this is not a big deal as there is no traffic. Beautiful views of the Tarn and beautiful stone houses along the route.

done on a warm afternoon, the route in the first part is pleasant with views of the Tarn, while the route in the woods is a bit challenging
