Park at Place de l'Église in the village of Les Cammazes. Option to shorten the hike: see practical information.
(S/E) Walk down the square towards the south and turn left into Ruelle Courredou de l'Horloge until you reach Place du Plô. Cross Rue de la Salle and continue straight on to Place de Corfou. Join the main street, Rue de la Passe. Continue along it on your left for about 200 metres.
(1) Turn left onto Chemin de la Rigole and continue for 150 metres.
(2) Leave the return path on your left. Continue straight ahead and follow the ditch until you reach the junction with Route du Barrage.
(3) Turn left and go down Route du Barrage until you reach the fork before the dyke.
(4) Continue to the right and cross the dam dyke. You will come to a crossroads.
(5) Take the path on the far left, which is closed by a barrier. Follow this forest path, which climbs gently. At the first hairpin bend, leave the path on the right and continue climbing on your left.
(6) At the second hairpin bend, ignore the path on the left and continue along the main path on the right for about 500 metres until you reach a fork. Be careful (as it is easy to miss this path), you will see the start of it on the left.
(7) Turn left onto this path, which runs parallel to the main path at the beginning. At first, it is not very well maintained, with gorse bushes encroaching on it a little. Then it becomes very good and easy to follow. Continue along it until you reach a T-junction.
(8) Turn left and follow the yellow markings for 1 km. You will walk alongside pastures, admire the Domaine du Montagnet and marvel at the centuries-old trees. Walk along the low stone wall and continue down this pleasant path under the trees, now with a clear view of the dam.
(9) Leave the yellow markings and take a small path on the right marked by a few steps between the tree roots. A few stones and a wooden stake have been placed to help you find this pleasant little path under the trees. Don't miss the superb view of the Tour de Roquefort. The path passes at the foot of it. Continue along it until you reach a T-junction.
(10) Turn right and rejoin the yellow markings. Follow the path down to the Sor river and cross the footbridge.
(11) Turn left immediately and leave the yellow markings again. Walk along the Sor for about 500 metres.
(12) At the crossroads, follow the path opposite that goes uphill. Join the penstock and follow it to the foot of the dam. Go up the tarmac lane on the right to the Route du Barrage, which you took on the way there.
(4) Turn right and go up the road to the junction with Chemin de la Rigole, which you also took on the way there.
(3) Turn right and follow the ditch. Go through the gate and continue for a few metres until you reach the junction with a small path on your right that you passed on the way there.
(2) Turn right onto the very pleasant Chemin de Boulemi until you reach Route de Durfort.
(13) Turn left onto this road. Continue to Place du Plô and turn right into the alleyway to reach Place de l'Église (S/E).
