The Corbœuf Ravine

The first part of the route follows an old railway line that has been converted into a very wide carriageway. It continues with a tour of the small heritage sites (old bread oven and wash house) in the hamlet of Chastel. Finally, at the end of the route, when the trees open up, there is a view over the unusual Corbœuf ravine.

Description of the walk

Park in the car park near the gendarmerie.

(S/E) Head in the opposite direction to the D7. Pass the recycling bins.

(1) Continue straight ahead on the road.

(2) At the end of this road, continue along a wide carriageway.
You will come to a four-way intersection (landmark: there are two signs nearby indicating that motor vehicles are not allowed).

(3) Leave the Sentier de la Galoche by turning left onto a road that climbs uphill (following the direction indicated by the sign "Retour vers Rosières via Chastel").
In the hamlet of Chastel, at an old bread oven, turn left to pass in front of the wash house.

(4). Continue along the road. Well after the last house in the hamlet, as soon as the road bends to the right, continue straight ahead down a stony path, from which you can see the Corbœuf ravine on your left in places where the trees open up.

(5) At the fork, turn right and join a road (stone trough on the left on the shoulder).

(6) Follow it to the left. At the end of the road, you will find the recycling bins.

(1) Turn right to return to the starting point (S/E).

A very pretty site. The colour of the stone changes depending on the light.

A lovely, very easy walk, with wide paths (particularly the old Galoche railway line)
The ravines are definitely worth exploring in fine weather.
Well-maintained route

We left your route, which initially follows the Galoche (where mountain bikes and Gravel bikes are used), to turn left - shortly after the viaduct - onto a path signposted Ravine de Corboeuf, which climbs up the edge of the ravine past two pretty lookouts. Following a very well-marked path heading east, uphill, we rejoined your route at the village of Chastel.
The rest of the route is identical to your guidebook and takes in some very pretty viewpoints.

A lovely walk with scenery and built heritage. Note that the ravine is only visible for the last quarter of the walk.
