This trail is one of the most beautiful on the southern slope of Tanargue. It is characterised by its easy ascent, its aesthetic appeal, its aerial aspect and the historical authenticity of its route. Another beautiful day's walking on the third highest peak in the Cévennes (1,548 m).We stay at the bottom of the valley for the first half of the morning, then climb up the southern slope of Méjean, enjoying views of Mont Gerbier de Jonc, Mont Blanc, the Vercors, Mont Ventoux and the Gorges de l'Ardèche.

The first stage of the Sainte Marguerite circular route, which takes you from Neyrac-les-Bains, a spa town on the banks of the Ardèche, to Aizac, a small village in the Ardèche Cévennes, a stone’s throw from Antraigues-sur-Volane.
Leaving behind the lowland holm oaks, you head into the heart of the chestnut groves! From the banks of the Ardèche, you follow three of its tributaries: the Fontolière, the Bourges and finally the Besorgues, which flow along the valley floor and at the foot of picturesque villages. A very sunny walk.
