Departure from Devesset (Ardèche)
The route is mostly shaded and follows a variety of paths, some of which are poorly maintained, so long trousers are recommended. Access to the lake is 300m from the starting point. I suggest a circular route starting from Rochepaule.

Departure from Tence (Haute-Loire)
Fourteenth stage of the Way of St James. This fairly short stage (due to the gloomy, snowy weather) feels like a long, continuous climb until reaching the hamlet of Raffy, in the forests of Meygal, at an altitude of over 1,290 m, which is the highest point of this route. A short stop in Saint-Jeures, a small village with a beautiful 12th-century Romanesque church, situated a short distance from the Pic du Lizieux (1,388 m), clearly visible from a long way off before reaching the village.

Walk along the slopes of the Sialle stream valley.
Paths rather than tracks, due to the lack of visitors to this isolated valley.
The route starts at the highest point, but the starting point in Desaignes is obvious when approaching from below.
