Departure from Liaucous, a beautiful village above Le Rozier and the confluence of the Tarn and Jonte rivers. There is a good car park at the top of the village, near the church and cemetery.
(S/E) From the car park, with your back to the cemetery, continue left on the road leading out of the village. Turn left onto a path and climb north-east. The path turns right and reaches a crossroads. Turn left to continue north on a well-marked path. Pass a side path leading to the Liaucous via ferrata and continue to a ravine facing north then north-east.
(1) At a crossroads, continue straight ahead uphill to reach a plateau on the causse.
(2) When you reach a wide path, turn right and then quickly turn left. Continue along this relatively flat path.
(3) When you reach an intersection at the edge of the forest, continue straight ahead on the path descending towards the south-east. You will pass a remarkable mushroom-shaped rock. The path then turns south, becoming steeper, and winds its way down to the abandoned village of Eglazines.
(4) At Eglazines, take a path on the right that leads back to Liaucous, following a contour line. After 1.5 km, ignore a path on the left that descends into the Carbasse woods. Further on, the path descends to a small road. It climbs to the right to the bottom of the village of Liaucous.
When you reach a crossroads, continue straight ahead on Rue Lacroix. Take the second street on the right, then turn right onto Rue Sabotier. Turn left twice, then right to reach the car park (S/E).
