Revens walks

An easy hike on the south-eastern edge of the Causse Noir. Villages and Causse landscapes await you and, with a bit of luck, a few bison! The signposting is very reliable.

You will need two vehicles for this journey from La Bouteille to Saint-André-de-Vézines.

The objectives of this hike are to reach Stream on foot from Cantobre as easily as possible, using as many paths as possible, to visit the village of Stream, and to return to Cantobre via the hills, in particular Roc Stream.

This circular walk takes you to two natural sites of great beauty. First, Roques Altès, where the farm of the same name invites you to stop for a break, then the Corniche du Rajol, which offers a multitude of rugged, jagged rocks overlooking the Gorges de la Dourbie. Beyond the scenery, the two hamlets of Saint-Véran and Montméjean, both crowned by the ruins of their feudal castles, add a fascinating touch of heritage, offering a magnificent example of Causse architecture in a timeless and deeply restful atmosphere.

A family walk that offers the pleasure of strolling through a ruiniform landscape of dolomites. The slight elevation gain and the steady gradient make this an ideal route for older people and young children.

Starting from the charming village of La Roque-Sainte-Marguerite, this hike first leads to the remarkable Roquesaltes rock formations, highlighted by a discovery trail dotted with informative and fun signs suitable even for the youngest hikers. After exploring the magnificent Causse farm of the same name, the circuit continues on the Causse Noir and leads to the site of Montméjean, dominated by the ruins of its castle. A beautiful trail leads back to the village, where you can stop to discover the 12th-century Sainte-Marguerite d'Antobe Church before descending via a beautiful paved slanting street to the banks of the Dourbie, where a swim in the summer months is a refreshing and pleasant way to end the circuit.

From the Dourbie Valley, the path climbs gently towards the Corniche de Rajol, where there is a magnificent view over the Dourbie and the Larzac, and to the south, the Millau Viaduct. A very picturesque walk, best enjoyed in spring.

You will discover this dolomitic ruin hidden in the pine woods, but it is at the edge of the cliffs overlooking the Dourbie that the cornices of the Rajol will reveal their majesty.What can be said about the Dantesque beauty of the stone giants of Roques Altès? Appreciate the voluptuous curves of the roofs of the eponymous farm.A family walk that oscillates between enchantment and dreamlike fantasy.

From one side of the Dourbie to the other via the Tayrac footbridge.

Former calamine furnaces, the Œil de Bœuf and the Tombeau du Géant on the Causse Bégon. Step back in time from the industrial era to prehistory.

From schist to sandstone, through chestnut trees and the remains of old calamine furnaces.

A short hike takes you to an ancient place of procession where you can enjoy the view over Saint-Jean-du-Bruel.

Several paths connect Saint-Jean-du-Bruel to Algues, the former stronghold of the Roquefeuil family overlooking the Dourbie valley. This is an easy 7km route with a moderate incline, ideal for a leisurely stroll.

Hike along the old railway line with its engineering structures and the picturesque village of Sauclières.

A very interesting route, particularly concerning the Canalettes site. These are two ‘canoles’ – faults carved into the limestone of the Causses by erosion. These fractures are particularly deep at this point.This walk also takes you to the source of the Durzon, which emerges as a resurgence. Similarly, the steep section at the Pas de la Mule, although short, is another highlight of this circular walk. ⚠️ The Canalettes fault site is closed annually from 1 October to 30 November by municipal order.

This sublime spot we recommend is located on the Causse Noir.First, take a look at the bucolic priory of Saint-Jean des-Balmes.Next, the Bartasserie will reveal the charm of the Causse buildings.Finally, the cliffs that line the tip of Causse Méjean, the legendary vases of Sèvre and China, the Francbouteille rock and Capluc.In short, a breathtaking panorama with a reasonable elevation gain and distance. A family outing.
