A pleasant route with plenty of woodland. The ‘Saut du Cabri’ ford isn’t always passable, depending on the water level.

Hike completed on 4 January 2025. After an "easy" section lasting about an hour, we had to cross the river (water level about mid-calf height), so you need to be prepared for that.
I also think this hike should be classified as difficult. It is not longer than indicated (3 hours 10 minutes), nor is it very physically demanding, but the route after crossing the river is very difficult to walk on, even dangerous! I would not take children or people who are not in good physical shape.
Nevertheless, if you're still interested, it's really worth it! It's a beautiful trail!

This is a very interesting hike because it's always nice to follow the water, and the banks of the Caramy are so valuable for biodiversity!
However, it should be noted that, very recently, it has become impossible to walk to point 3: there is now a fence to protect the banks, and you have to take a detour up to the GR to reach point 4!
But apart from that, there are no major difficulties and you only meet people along the Caramy.
At point 9, it is a good idea to go down to the banks, as it is easier!

Did it yesterday in good weather after heavy rain. It was truly magnificent, a feast for the eyes.
However, the hike back along the riverbank was a bit challenging, with some steep and very narrow sections.
The ford was a bit rock and roll (getting your feet wet was almost inevitable).
It took us almost 5 hours and my GPS calculated an elevation gain of 290 metres.
Very clear explanations.

Route taken after heavy rain: the Caramy is absolutely magnificent and the Cabri waterfall is exceptional
However, not recommended in wet weather or after rain, as it is difficult to cross the Caramy at the Cabri waterfall and parts of the trail have collapsed, particularly on the left bank of the Caramy
Should be classified as "difficult" rather than "moderate" in terms of difficulty
Do not attempt with young children in wet weather
Check that the left bank is passable (dizzying passages, risk of slipping and erosion of the trail in certain places)

at point 9, we carefully descended to the edge of the ravine to avoid the climb on the right, but after that there were no more paths along the stream, only one that gradually climbed above the stream. It was very narrow and partly hidden by vegetation, making it difficult to pass due to the narrowness of the path and the approximately 5-metre overhang (stressful, if not more so, for people prone to vertigo)
not recommended for children or inexperienced walkers

A beautiful hike in good weather. We walked for just under four hours, not counting stops for photos, botanical observations, and a picnic. The description is spot on!
We didn't see the sign for "Panorama des Gorges du Caramy", but luckily the GPS put us back on the right track! The Caramy is superb, and the water is still cool, if you believe the two swimmers!
There are no dangerous sections, you just need to be careful when following the stream on the way back...

A complete change of scenery. It's just magnificent.
To start the walk, there is a large car park at the end of the street, after the association's car park (a little further than the stated starting point). The walk took us over five hours. Between dips in the water, photo stops, climbing up to the Cabri waterfall and the caves, and taking the time to soak up every moment, the natural surroundings are simply magnificent.
The whole section from point 8 on the way back was a real favourite. We only came across three people. Top notch!

Superb hike completed on 18 November 2023 in good weather
Easy to follow with a GPS, but less straightforward with the description...

I confirm all the comments made previously. In addition, given the dry conditions, we alternated between walking in the riverbed and on the path between point 8 and the Figuière spring. The various viewpoints there are particularly fantastic.

Beautiful hike with magnificent scenery. Markings too light: yellow then red then green then blue, and this was not mentioned on the itinerary. Unfortunately, luckily the app allowed us to correct our course several times by geolocating ourselves.

Having read the previous comments and the moderator's note, I would like to point out that there is an error in the description that the author could correct. At point 9, do not follow the trail to the left (which is very dangerous in wet weather), but instead simply descend a few metres to the right and join the stream. The path continues peacefully and smoothly along the edge of the Caramy and is visible on the OSM Rando map. Shortly after the Figuière spring, there are markings to help you get around a few obstacles while staying as close as possible to the stream. With these clarifications, this beautiful route no longer presents any difficulties.

The worst hike of my life. I cried and almost called the fire brigade to come and get me. It was fine until the ford, but after that, the path became increasingly dangerous and impassable. I had to find a yellow-marked trail to get back, which added two hours to the hike... I really don't recommend this loop. Turn back at the goat jump...
