Arriving on the D185, the car park is on the right, before the entrance to the village, after the bend once you have crossed the bridge over the Coulègne.
(S/E) Head north-east under the chestnut trees and follow a vague path (there are several paths) that runs alongside the river until you reach the mill, which can be seen under the vegetation about 150 m away.
Return due west along a wide path that ends at a fence. Take the path on the left, which will take you back to the D185. Cross the road and walk up to the wall surrounding the former La Mouleyrette holiday camp. Follow the wall to the right, pass the bus stop and you will come to the D153, which will take you straight to the centre of the village. Pass the old school.
(1) At the bar-café, turn right onto the main street. Continue to the crossroads with Chemin de le Fabre.
(2) Turn left onto this path. Continue on theGR® 6 -GR®67, following them to the Col des Fosses. First follow a low stone wall, then start climbing up the switchbacks. At the first fork, go straight ahead. Cross a carriage road.
(3) Be careful here: the start ofthe GR® is not very visible. However, once you find it, simply follow it to reach Col des Fosses.
(4) Turn left, leaving theGR® and following a yellowPR® signpost towards Saint-Roman-de-Codières and La Pierre Plantée, which are indicated on a signpost. The path descends slightly. You will reach another signpost at a fork.
(5) Continue straight ahead towards Le Cayrel. Do not go down to the right. The trail leads to the crossroads of the three Cayre menhirs.
(6) Turn right to reach the menhirs.
(7) Return to the previous crossroads.
(6) Turn right at the signpost for Font Froide, heading south-east, to descend into the valley. From here, there are no more signposts. The abandoned path is difficult to see among the ferns. Descend steeply to the bottom of the valley and find a more clearly marked path. Cross the Esclafar stream (often dry). When you reach a sheepfold (covered with green tarpaulin), go past it and continue along the path for a few metres.
(8) After a left turn (there is a cairn), look for a pile of small rocks below the path. Carefully descend this pile of granite rocks. You will reach an abandoned path called Chemin du Queyrel. It descends chaotically through the undergrowth, sometimes bordered by a low dry stone wall. Be careful, as some parts have collapsed. It leads to the hamlet of Alary, on a small tarmac road.
(9) Take this road, passing a beautiful fountain. Fifty metres after the fountain, at the entrance to the hamlet of La Rouvière (entrance not signposted), take the first path on the left, in a bend. Follow this path uphill through chestnut and oak trees. It runs alongside a bend in the Route de la Lause. Continue to a clearing and, after the 666-metre elevation point, turn sharply left heading north. You will come out onto the road.
(10) Turn left and turn right towards the Hameau de la Lauze. At the end of the paved road, take the path opposite. Descend near the stream. Cross the meadow to reach the Pont du Gal.
(11) Turn left onto the Route du Queiroux, cross the bridge and continue to the village.
(1) Turn right onto the path in the opposite direction to the outward route, which will take you back to the car park (S/E).
