From the Pont de Monvert, take the D998 to the hamlet of Felgérolles. Park at the entrance to the hamlet in the small car park.
(S/E) Take thefirst path that branches off to the left (signposted Gîte d'étape – Pont du Tarn). Pass the stopover lodge 100 m further on. A sign indicates the presence of a mill 50 m away, off to the left. Go there, then retrace your steps and continue along the road, which turns into a path as soon as you pass the last house in the hamlet.
The path climbs along an old stream for 100 m until you reach a fence.
(1) Go through the fence marking the boundary of the pasture and turn left, following the stream.
Here begins a peaceful and pleasant walk of about one kilometre through pastures. The stream winds its way between a few rocks that break up the regular flow of the water. There is a magnificent view of the valley and the Montagne du Bouges. A few solitary trees indicate the proximity of a beech forest.
A flat stone laid across the stream serves as a small bridge.
(2) You will cross theGR®72at the Col de l'Ancise.
Continue straight ahead, following the watercourse.
(3) Two kilometres after the start, you will arrive at the water intake of the irrigation channel into the Tarn, marked by a stone laid across it with a sign above it.
The Tarn then opens up before you with a series of waterfalls cascading down among the rocks.
Follow the path that winds its way through the undergrowth, trying to stay close to the river. After 100 m, you will come to a reservoir with a small building used for pumping water.
(4). At the reservoir, take the path that climbs up to the right and crosses a clearing. After 300 m of steep path, you will rejoin theGR®72.
(5). Continue along this path on the left until you reach a meadow where the Tarn river winds its way through. Continue along the bank of the Tarn until you reach the Pont du Tarn bridge.
(6) Return by retracing your steps until you cross the path that descends to the pumping station and where you arrived on the way there.
(5) At this point, continue straight ahead on theGR®72.
(7) 300 m further on, you will come to a path that descends towards the Tarn.
Turn left, climb back up for 100 m, then at the next fork, leave theGR®72and take the path on the left towards Felgérolles. The path crosses a small copse and then begins a relatively stony descent to rejoin the path where the mill stream starts, at the fence just above the hamlet.
(1) You can then visit the water mill, if you haven't already done so, and rejoin the (S/E).
