La Roque-Sainte-Marguerite walks
Chaos de Roquesaltes
Starting from the charming village of La Roque-Sainte-Marguerite, this hike first leads to the remarkable Roquesaltes rock formations, highlighted by a discovery trail dotted with informative and fun signs suitable even for the youngest hikers. After exploring the magnificent Causse farm of the same name, the circuit continues on the Causse Noir and leads to the site of Montméjean, dominated by the ruins of its castle. A beautiful trail leads back to the village, where you can stop to discover the 12th-century Sainte-Marguerite d'Antobe Church before descending via a beautiful paved slanting street to the banks of the Dourbie, where a swim in the summer months is a refreshing and pleasant way to end the circuit.
The Rochers de Roques Altès and the Corniches du Rajol
You will discover this dolomitic ruin hidden in the pine woods, but it is at the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Dourbie that the cornices of the Rajol will reveal their majesty.What can be said about the Dantesque beauty of the stone giants of Roques Altès? Appreciate the voluptuous curves of the roofs of the eponymous farm.A family walk that oscillates between enchantment and dreamlike fantasy.
The chaos of Caoussou
With all due respect to its illustrious neighbour (the Montpellier-le-Vieux site), the Caoussou chaos is a ruiniform formation rich in concretions, certainly more modest but just as interesting to discover.
A family walk with a gradient suitable for both young and old.
The sublime viewpoint of the Jonte Gorges from Saint-Jean-des-Balmes
This sublime spot we recommend is located on the Causse Noir.First, take a look at the bucolic priory of Saint-Jean des-Balmes.Next, the Bartasserie will reveal the charm of the Causse buildings.Finally, the cliffs that line the tip of Causse Méjean, the legendary vases of Sèvre and China, the Francbouteille rock and Capluc.In short, a breathtaking panorama with a reasonable elevation gain and distance. A family outing.
The Point Sublime on the Corniche du Causse Noir
A fantastic hike among old stones (Saint-Jean des Balmes priory, Saint-Michel Hermitage), magnificent panoramas, amazing ruiniform rocks and a nature reserve (Cirque de Madasse). The hike from Saint-Jean des Balmes avoids a significant elevation gain, allowing you to extend your hike to the Point Sublime at the top of the Corniche du Causse Noir.
The Corniches of the Causse Noir
You will need two vehicles for this journey from La Bouteille to Saint-André-de-Vézines.
The Hermitage of Saint-Michel from Peyreleau
A beautiful hike above Peyreleau with many points of interest: views of the Tarn valley and the Jonte gorges, vultures and eagles in flight, the ruins of the Hermitage of Saint-Michel and swimming in the Jonte on the way back. The most strenuous part is the first section to reach the viewpoint.
The Hermitage of Saint-Michel and the cornices of the Causse Noir
A very beautiful hike along the Jonte Gorges on the ledges of the Causse Noir. Remains of the Saint-Michel hermitage. Close to vultures.
The Méjean cliff path
Perhaps the most beautiful walk along the Causse Méjean, which traditionally starts out from Le Rozier.
Here, by starting on the cliff top, there is less vertical drop, as you stay between 870 and 720m the whole way.
As well as breath-taking scenery, you can see vultures circling above you and even below you on the cliffs!
The Corniches du Méjean and Corniches du Tarn from Rozier
A beautiful, challenging circular hike with breathtaking views. The view from the Cinglegros rock is fantastic, but access is reserved for those who do not suffer from vertigo.

A walk to discover vultures in the cliffs of the Jonte.

From Le Rozier to La Viale via the Corniches de la Jonte
This is the stage with the most elevation gain, but it is superb! The passage along the ledge above the Gorges de la Jonte offers magnificent aerial views. It is also a great place to watch vultures in flight.
Between Tarn and Jonte
A very pretty loop that allows you to discover the Gorges du Tarn and then the Gorges de la Jonte.
After the climb to Rocher de Capluc, the arrival at the viewpoint offers a magnificent view of the Tarn Gorges and Le Rozier.
The route is a bit challenging but the views are sublime.
The elevation gain is actually 650 m and the distance is 12 km.
The panoramic Tarn at Saint-Marcelin
A beautiful circular route starting from the pretty village of Liaucous, which allows you to climb from the Tarn valley to the Causse de Sauveterre and then walk along the edge of the causse for long stretches, offering beautiful views. The return trail allows you to discover two ancient troglodyte villages.Visorando app recommended.
From Mostuéjouls to Millau
For this seventh stage, walk along less frequented paths on the right bank of the Tarn with several pretty villages to discover. From La Calquière-Mostuéjouls to the imposing Château de Peyrelevade and then Compeyre, we cross the Tarn at Paulhe and follow its left bank to Millau.
The Tarn and the Causse Noir at La Cresse
A climb up the Causse Noir via the Ravin du Cambon, passing by the Caylus viewpoint, a short break to rest on the wide paths of the causse, then a long descent via the Ravin de Font Auzal.
Fontaneilles Pedestal Trail
Hike in the hills above the Tarn Valley, around the medieval castle of Peyrelade.
The Tarn des Cerises in Paulhe
A beautiful climb up the Causse Noir starting from Pauhle, a pretty village where you must visit the Maison de la Cerise. A second short circular loop, if you have time, allows you to visit the lower parts of the commune but does not provide access to the Tarn, which is a shame.
Cantobre - Stream, via Roc Nantais
The objectives of this hike are to reach Stream on foot from Cantobre as easily as possible, using as many paths as possible, to visit the village of Stream, and to return to Cantobre via the hills, in particular Roc Stream.
