Description of the walk

To get to Talley and the starting point of the hike:
At "Trézioux", head towards "Courpière".
Leave "Trézioux" and after about 500 metres, turn left towards "Talley".
Continue along this small road for another 500 metres until you reach a crossroads.
The path (starting point) is on your left at this crossroads.

(1) Start at the place called "Talley", on the path at the entrance to the village that descends to your left (north-west). Follow this path to the bottom.

(2) Take the small climb in front of you and, at the next crossroads, turn left.
Continue along the road until you reach the farm called "La Tuilerie". The road then becomes paved; continue until you reach the crossroads.

(3) At the crossroads, watch out for cars! Take the road in front of you until the next crossroads on your left, with a view of Mauzun Castle.
At the crossroads (elevation 475), turn right (do not follow the yellow and green signs).
Continue north until the next crossroads.

(4) At the crossroads, turn right to join the D 152 road. Continue right on the road until you reach a place called "Le Bouys". Drive through the hamlet and continue to the crossroads.

(5) Watch out for cars! At the crossroads, take the second road on the right towards "Les Fargette" and immediately take the path on your left. Continue along the path.
There is a pond on your right. Continue straight ahead along the electricity pylons, then downhill with a sharp right turn (leave the path on your left in the bend), continue downhill. You will come to a crossroads.

(6) Turn left (be careful of muddy ground) onto a small stream. Immediately after, turn right: take a deep breath and get ready for a steep climb... Continue south until you reach the entrance to the hamlet of "Talley".

(7) On the paved section, just after the house on the right (cinder block wall), enjoy the view of the Chaîne des Puys.
Continue straight ahead on the road to cross Talley and return to your car.

Beautiful hiking route with stunning views of the Forez mountains. No signposts, but the GPX file for GPS is very useful.

Easy route – apart from the ascents and descents, but that's the Auvergne for you – on very pleasant paths. There are few stones, and on some sections there is sand. You can also see arkose, a very beautiful local rock. It's the middle of nature, even though human life is clearly visible. I was able to watch several birds of prey through my binoculars, and the landscapes are very beautiful.

A very beautiful hike. There were 53 of us and we ate at the Estre Au Rouvel farm, where we parked and started from there. Superb scenery along the way, good signposting so we didn't get lost, and a very good meal at the farmhouse inn. The people were very friendly and the traditional meal of terrine, meat and potato gratin was very tasty and served without fuss. I would recommend this place. All the hikers were very happy with the hike
Thank you

A very pleasant and varied route, hilly and ideal for families with children. Alternating between woodland and open meadows, with magnificent views of several castles (Mauzun, Le Cheix, Les Moulins) and mountains (Chaîne des Puys, Monts du Forez) throughout the route, not to mention ponds and other pools.
