Hello, we did this hike in hot weather, starting from the village and walking past the cemetery until we reached a crossroads, where you must turn right. The climb is steep and you need to use your hands, but at the top there is an exceptional 360-degree panorama. We were lucky enough to see eagles up close. In short, this is a hike not to be missed.

As I mentioned in a previous post, you have to make a return trip to the peak. Perhaps this hike should even be removed from the site because it is dangerous if you follow the descent route. It's up to Visorando to decide. Thank you.

DO NOT DO THIS!!
I think things have changed since the first route, but on the way back (between 10 and the starting village), THE ROAD IS PRIVATE. I met a gentleman who wondered what I was doing there, and he doesn't particularly like strangers walking on his property...However, I followed the GXP route and the description matched the path, so I didn't make a mistake.

Not to mention the "paths" (if you can really call them that at times...) which sometimes become non-existent (between 9 and 10, there is a point where the path disappears, even though it was already difficult to see), I had to navigate blindly through the woods with my GPS... The same goes for the Pic d'Anjeau. The trail, which was already difficult to see, disappears at one point and even becomes impassable in some places. I had to give up and turn back.

That said, the rest of the hike is very beautiful and the detour to the cave was really great. The first part of the hike is very good (yellow markings), but I strongly advise turning back at Pic d'Anjeau (you can go as far as the peak because there are some very nice views, and you may have better luck than I did finding the path for the circular hike!).

This hike is rated as difficult, and it certainly lives up to its reputation. Beautiful scenery and stunning views of the Cévennes. Lots of boulders, especially on the descent.

Hello, thank you for the advice, as I fortunately completed the route in 6-8 hours in the opposite direction. I can confirm that the section near 8 has become impassable. I am a good tracker, but when the path is overgrown with brambles, you have to leave the path to continue, and only my accurate GPS, which is accurate to the metre, enabled me to find it again.

Hello
Thank you for your comments.
It is indeed easier to return via the same route you took on the way up. For the more difficult descent, it is better to use GPS. The path existed but has gradually closed up.
Kind regards

Thank you for introducing us to Pic d'Anjeau. A visit to the cave is recommended, but be aware that the climb (as indicated) is tricky and you often need to use your hands to help you. There's no point trying to descend via the indicated path, as it's almost impenetrable in places, completely overgrown and very difficult (and I'm used to hiking). We ended up with our legs and arms completely scratched! Descend by the same route as on the way up, difficult but much preferable. I have more elevation gain than indicated +949 and -1016. Indeed, after the house under reconstruction around the 11th kilometre, the gate is closed, but you can pass by the side. Be careful after point 9 not to follow the path that runs along the cliff, but find the one that is a little below. Similarly, at point 5 on the way back, look carefully for the path (very difficult to see) that branches off to the right. Finally, when you arrive at La Jasse (via the private road), continue straight ahead on the PR to avoid part of the road.

Hello
The descent from Pic d'Anjeau is indeed adventurous. For the return journey, you can take the same route as the ascent.
Best regards

Beautiful hike, but be careful: the descent between points 7 and 8 is adventurous (the trail is conceptual – trousers and GPS are mandatory).
There are "private property" signs and barriers on the path after point 10 – I didn't encounter anyone, but you may need to find another route.
