A truly beautiful six-day hike on the Causse Méjan. This route does not cover the entire Causse but takes you around its western section and across its centre. Along the way, you’ll enjoy wide open spaces and superb views of the Gorges de la Jonte and the Gorges du Tarn. You’ll come across few other people on this hike, but the encounters with local farmers are warm and friendly.
