We didn't follow the suggested route exactly because we set off on foot from the chapel and then joined the hamlet of Les Portes (car park full). There is a closed passage at the end of the bridge on the left bank, so we continued on our way to the Fouronnière car park, then crossed back to the other bank and walked down the left bank of the pond to the chapel. The route is approximately 6.7 km long with an elevation gain of 281 metres.
There is a passage in the riverbed, so be careful if there is too much water, as you will need to see where the route goes

Very beautiful hike. Difficult to access by car due to very narrow roads, but you can take a shuttle bus from La Chapelle

I couldn't find the way down for the return trip,
so I went back and forth on the same path

Attractive bridge and beautiful potholes. Pleasantly shaded route in places.

I give the circuit an average rating because it was done at the end of the day. In fact, the prettiest part is at the bridge, where you can stop 30 metres above it. However, the circuit is nice, well shaded and you can dip your feet in the water. No difficulty.

A superb walk for young children with the opportunity to take a dip in the river. It's a circular route, which is always nice as you don't have to return the same way. However, you can park near the Oulles bridge, so we did the route in the opposite direction to your description

If you start from the hamlet of Les Portes or the car park further away, this is a very beautiful, easy walk along the river, through grassy meadows and under larch trees.
After the bridge, instead of going straight back down, you can go up to the right, pass the old village of Navette and its chapel, and continue on to the Buchardet waterfall. An easy path under the larch trees, very pleasant.
return by the same route, or on the other side of the river via a single track.

The path down was closed, so we had to go back down by road. We combined it with a visit to the Buchardet waterfall. A beautiful hike with lots of water: waterfalls and torrents

going along the right bank is great, but coming back along the left bank isn't so cool

A bit of trial and error at the start of the chapel, but then the discovery is unforgettable

A very pleasant walk, passing through a flower-filled hamlet and alongside the remarkable Oulles du Diable rock formations.
An easy route that can be extended by several circuits of varying lengths.
Thank you for sharing

A magnificent little hike in light, almost tropical rain. The Oulles site is less impressive than expected, but this erosion phenomenon leaves you speechless. The same spectacle can be seen in the Destel Gorges in Ollioulles in the Var, but without water: the Destel basins.
