Departure from La Roque-Sainte-Marguerite (Aveyron)
This circular walk takes you to two natural sites of great beauty. First, Roques Altès, where the farm of the same name invites you to stop for a break, then the Corniche du Rajol, which offers a multitude of rugged, jagged rocks overlooking the Gorges de la Dourbie. Beyond the scenery, the two hamlets of Saint-Véran and Montméjean, both crowned by the ruins of their feudal castles, add a fascinating touch of heritage, offering a magnificent example of Causse architecture in a timeless and deeply restful atmosphere.
