Departure from Royère-de-Vassivière (Creuse)
A fairly family-friendly hike. The outward journey is downhill along a bucolic stream, through a lush, almost tropical deciduous forest. The return is more austere, through a mysterious, moss-covered coniferous forest.

The Rigole du Diable is a picturesque site situated in the upper Thaurion valley. This site is a Natura 2000 site and is listed in the ZNIEFF inventory. The Rigole du Diable and its tributary are strewn with pebbles and boulders. Here you’ll find the unusual Rocher du Diable near the old Planchette mill. Legendary stones are common in Limousin. These strangely shaped boulders, formed by the erosion of exposed granite, have often captured the imagination of local people.

A very beautiful walk combining three circular loops and offering a wide variety of landscapes: gorges and rocky outcrops along the Rigole du Diable, followed by peat bogs, superb heather moors, wet meadows, and undergrowth of fir or deciduous trees of various species.
