Hello,
I did this hike under beautiful skies. I set off at 8 a.m. and took various breaks to admire the scenery, take photos and eat, which took me 5 hours and 45 minutes in total. The hike wasn't too difficult, just a few sections where the vegetation (fallen trees, broken branches) made it a little difficult to get through, meaning I had to go around.
There was also some runoff in certain places, and as the temperature was below freezing, frost formed on the rocks, so be careful if you do this hike at this time of year.
Otherwise, it was pure pleasure. I took my lunch break at the old sheepfold with an exceptional view.

A beautiful hike, some climbing, be careful of the sun, bring water. On rainy days, the rocks are very slippery. I didn't see many people, breathtaking scenery. A challenging hike nonetheless

Overall accurate description, a few uncertainties upon arrival at Randavel where the GR signage diverges completely from the GPS track. We were fortunate to have a very clear view of the panoramas, with snow on the Aigoual, Mont Lozère and the Vercors in the distance. After two steep climbs at the start to the Col de l'Asclier, the second part is really very easy going. We completed the route in 8 hours and 10 minutes, but with more than 2 hours of various breaks. A very beautiful hike to do again in different seasons.

beautiful hike, very pretty hamlets to pass through, short stop at the hamlet of Puech Sigal for the fountain and, just opposite, purchase of excellent flower honey from a very kind lady. I recommend it. Beautiful climb to the Moutonnier bridge and the Col d'Asclier, with the statue of the shepherd. By chance, we crossed paths with the shepherd, who was very friendly, and part of his flock.after a refreshing drink, we enjoyed a lovely descent back to the village where we started.

A beautiful hike on a challenging route due to its length and elevation gain. The panoramic views are breathtaking. You can see the two peaks of the Cévennes, the Aigoual with its antennas clearly visible, and Mont Lozère to the north. At the beginning of spring, you can still see snow on the summit of Finiel. There are also beautiful views of the Pic de la Toureille. You pass through typical Cévennes hamlets with beautiful renovated buildings. Don't forget that the richness of this route is the result of pastoralism, as the paths are those used for transhumance.

A very attractive route in the Cévennes, inevitably a little busy on the ridge (it is a GR trail and very accessible) but much less so on the rest of the route (GR6B sections). Beautiful scenery, especially if you are unfamiliar with the region. Springs already close to drying up in early April (admittedly, there has been relatively little rain since January). Many sections are paved at the beginning, passing through beautiful hamlets, terraced fields and stone houses. This is not a deal-breaker, especially since there is very little motorised traffic (almost exclusively dead ends).

No major difficulties, a little challenging in places, but anyone with a minimum of walking experience, reasonable fitness and suitable footwear will manage without any difficulty. Only partially shaded, so take care in high summer! I drank 3 litres of water in April in fine weather.

The route is easy to follow (red and white GR markings), but in a few places the GPS track diverges slightly from the markings. I recommend following the markings, as you will quickly find the track again. I completed the walk in about 5½ hours, including a quick lunch and photos, on my own. Accessible to children if they are physically fit and well equipped (steep and physically demanding climb), no dangerous sections.

Nice hike, not many people for a Sunday
Interesting route, beautiful scenery,
The physical effort is well balanced: uphill in the morning and then easier going

Beautiful hike, very pleasant and well documented. The GR6 route has been modified after Bon Perrier, but the signposting is clear.
A very beautiful day. Thank you very much

Overall, the description of the hike helps you find your way around. Combining this with the map makes the route safer. I'm not from the area and at times I needed to combine the two to be sure of the path to follow.
The scenery is magnificent and the hike is very pleasant. There are no major difficulties. The different slopes of the mountains offer varied vegetation.

A very pleasant hike that I would recommend.
