Yellow signposts
From Thiézac, head to the hamlet of La Goutte, walk through it and take the first road on the right. Park immediately after passing under the railway bridge.
(S/E) Walk back down the road to the wash house/watering place in the hamlet of La Goutte and take the path on the right marked in yellow, a few metres further down, heading north-east.
(1) After passing a farm, turn left onto the tarmac road. After 250 m, this road takes a sharp left-hand bend; take the dirt track on the right. The climb is gentle at first, then gradually becomes steeper.
(2) A little further on, ignore the sign for Chambonet on the left and carry on straight ahead. Steep climb. Pass under a railway bridge. Reach the Buron Les Granières at the top of the climb. Turn onto the flat tarmac road to the right.
(3) Leave this and enter the hamlet of Niervèze via a footpath. At the bread oven, take the path on the right, signposted ‘Chemin de Saint-Jacques’ with the famous scallop shells. Follow the signs for Moulin de Niervèze and head towards it.
(4) Cross the stream and rejoin the tarmac road. Continue on to reach the hamlet of Lafon.
(5) Take the road leading down to the right, then immediately take the path to the left, signposted ‘Chaos du Casteltinet’. From here, follow the white and redGR®® markings, in addition to the yellow markings. Pass a waterfall. 100 metres further on, stay on the path to the left.
(6) Cross the Chaos de Casteltinet, an interesting geological feature. Within the rock formation, you’ll reach the impressive natural arch known as the Porte du Lion.
(7) Pass under this arch. Follow the markings down the slope. Pass under the railway line to reach the car park at La Goutte (S/E).
