No paint markings on site: changes in direction too vague with only the description and map in hand! We met two other groups of hikers who were also forced to superimpose the Visorando information with their GPS tracking.

A nice little hike through the heath with some beautiful views. I didn't go all the way up to the spring because I was with my dog and the path was very narrow along the stream, but I think it's accessible nonetheless.
Easy to find your way, thank you for this suggestion! I'll do it again.

Trip taken in early September 2025. As mentioned in other comments, there was no water at the waterfall or stream, but it was still very pretty. The trail is not very well marked, but following the GPS was no problem. Be careful at the end of the hike after the climb, as there is a 700-metre area infested with horseflies. Bring repellent.

The route is reliable on the way there.
On the way back, follow the dark green dots to return to the top
The walk should be done before or after summer so that the spring generates enough water

First of all, would it be possible for the hiker who publishes their route to specify the date it was created?
I usually check our progress using the GPS route on the app.
Above all, do not venture onto the detour that branches off to the right after the village, which takes you onto unmaintained, completely random paths through the undergrowth. It is better to continue on the dotted path (tour des vignes au Causse), which rejoins the original route in much better condition.
Then, to access the spring, it is impossible to follow the route; there are several paths that branch off to the right. The theoretical GPS paths lead to the riverbank but not beyond. We eventually found the spring, where unfortunately there was only a puddle of water and no waterfall. However, before reaching point 3, there are two small waterfalls and a very clear pool where we had a picnic.
On the way back, after rejoining the main track, we had no problems and didn't see any megalithic ruins.

A lovely walk with our dog, who enjoyed splashing around in the pools we came across along the way, which were luckily full at this time of year.
The only other people we encountered were a group of about ten walkers.
Luckily we had the app to help us find our way, as we had a few issues with the signposting.

We were lucky because it rained a lot during the week, so the scenery was magnificent. The hike was easy, except for points 3 and 4, where you have to be careful to find the path to finish the hike. I recommend it.

A very pleasant, easy, bucolic walk.
Be careful if it has rained recently, as access to the spring may be difficult, but there is always a way to get there. Conversely, if it hasn't rained for a long time, it won't be the same spectacle and the waterfalls along the way won't be as beautiful.
There are many paths that cross, so I recommend sticking to the route on the app.

Without the app, the route is difficult to find, especially as it continues beyond the cross markings indicating a route not to follow. Very poor signposting and no useful information along the route. There is room for improvement in this regard. That said, the location is pretty.

A lovely walk that takes you past horse pastures and then a small river with crystal clear water.
Already too late in the season to enjoy the waterfall at its source, just a trickle.
No problems with the GPS.
Also worth noting are some beautiful specimens of yellow flax and sulphur flax.

Hello,

A very pleasant walk in May 2024.
The route was technically easy and we even got to go swimming.
I agree with the previous comments about the lack of signposting.
The hike is best done with the descriptions and route provided by the app.
But it's nothing too complicated.

Thanks for this route.
Best regards,

A very pleasant and fairly easy hike, although a sign at the crossroads to go down to the cave would make the return journey easier. Not many people on the trail.

A lovely, enjoyable walk.
Very easy and short.
It's a shame that there's still no water in January!

A very nice walk, varied and easy. What a pleasure to see all this clear, running water during a period of drought... The only downside was getting out of the hole at the source: we lost the map with the directions and there was no mobile phone reception at the bottom. We had to search around a bit to find the route, so we were very glad to have a GPS...
