Make sure you follow the route on the app carefully, as there are no signposts on the ground
Avoid doing this walk on a really hot day as there are few shaded sections
Otherwise, it’s a nice little walk, ideal for taking a dog as there aren’t many people around

One difficulty along the route: near the Cadénède farm, the path is blocked by a fence with no designated crossing. You’ll need to climb over it (it isn’t electrified) to rejoin the path a little further on.

The route isn't marked at all; there are loads of paths because there are trail routes
Without the app, it’s very difficult to do.
Once we reached the heights, there was a lovely view of the viaduct, but after a long stretch through tall grass, we arrived at the Maison de la Cadenède
We did this hike with a teenager and we absolutely loved it, phew

I strayed a little from the exact route, covering only the section around La Cadenède. With so many paths criss-crossing the woodland, it’s hard to know exactly where you are, but with a bit of a sense of direction, it works out fine – it’s hard to get lost.
A lovely route, quiet on this Sunday afternoon, but judging by the tracks on the ground, it seems to be quite popular.
Thanks!

A walk in the hills above Millau – not particularly interesting; there are lots of electricity pylons and, despite the view of the Causses and the viaduct, the setting isn’t great

A lovely family walk offering interesting views of the Millau Viaduct and the fortified farm of La Cadenède.
At the end of the walk, a visit to the village of Peyre is well worth a detour

We’ve already been to Peyre. It’s absolutely stunning; we tend to just wander off on a whim, if I may say so. We climbed right up to the top via the gas pipeline and then made our way back down to the Tarn – it was brilliant. We’re from St Jean du Bruel and we love exploring all the trails and shorter hikes.As long as we’re out and about, we’re having a brilliant time, and this afternoon’s walk from Cadenède to Les Aumières was brilliant!

Thank you for your comments; they are a great source of encouragement.
I’m afraid I can’t invite you to visit my little village of Peyre, 6 km from Millau.
Unfortunately, I haven’t yet found the time to post a route there.
However, do wander through the village streets, admire the cave church, the communal oven, the houses set into the limestone cliff (tuff), not to mention the viaduct and a thousand other treasures waiting to be discovered.
Best regards

A lovely little walk – we followed your directions to the letter. There were paths everywhere. It’s a shame about the box trees; it looks rather sad. We arrived just as the sun came out – quite unusual for February.
