The Valadour Footbridge in Chaliers
Starting from Loubaresse, near an exit from the A75 motorway, this route follows the GR® de Pays circular Boucle de la Truyère and a variant that "turns" around the Truyère river to the village of Chaliers, which is well worth taking the time to explore. The route takes small local roads on both the left and right banks of this river with its wild gorges, crossing it twice via footbridges at Valadour and Terran.
The actual duration of the route is 4 hours and 40 minutes (GPS watch data), including a short stop in Chaliers.
