Starting from Loubaresse, near an exit from the A75 motorway, this route follows the GR® de Pays circular Boucle de la Truyère and a variant that "turns" around the Truyère river to the village of Chaliers, which is well worth taking the time to explore. The route takes small local roads on both the left and right banks of this river with its wild gorges, crossing it twice via footbridges at Valadour and Terran. The actual duration of the route is 4 hours and 40 minutes (GPS watch data), including a short stop in Chaliers.

A pleasant circular loop on the west bank of the Allier. From the Costet bridge north of Langeac to the viewpoint on the Biot cliff, with a detour through the charming villages of Truchon and Cerzat.

Take a break from the A75 for a pleasant and informative stop!

This long circular loop offers two very different atmospheres. The first part is spent in the company of pilgrims on the Way of St James, often in groups, some more talkative than others, passing through hamlets marked by this pilgrimage (crosses, statues). In the second part, you will be alone in the world in the vast expanses of the plateau overlooking the Allier valley.The Visorando app is useful on certain sections.
