Description of the walk

Park in the car park at the Relais de Rochepaule, “Chez Annabelle”.

(S/E) With the Relais on your right, walk 30 metres, then turn right towards the post office and walk past it. At the next junction, turn left towards the stadium. Carry on and walk uphill to the Croix de Berry.

(1) Carry on to the top and, at the three-way junction where the three roads meet, keep to the right. Further on, pass Beyri. In the bend that follows, look out for a path on the right.

(2) Take this path, which climbs towards the rocks.

(3) Once you reach the Roches de Peyrhomme, continue along the path – be careful, as it includes narrow and slippery sections. The path becomes a road as you approach La Selle. At the next junction, turn right towards Rochepaule.

(4) Walk past the fire station and, at the next junction, turn left and retrace your steps along the path you took on the way there to return to the Rochepaule inn (S/E).
