Mostly in the undergrowth, the route nevertheless offers several open sections with views stretching over the hills and slopes, where meadows and cultivated land intermingle.

A beautiful walk starting from the Maison de la Vallée du Gijou, to discover one of the Tarn’s most unusual and mystical heritage sites: the Chapel of Saint-Jean Del Frech, first mentioned in 972.You’ll also enjoy stunning views in the heart of nature along the ridges overlooking this valley, which nearly disappeared forever due to a dam project.

Alternating between peaks and the Gijou valley, during this walk hikers will discover some magnificent villages and hidden hamlets in the Tarn department, explore a region with a rich historical past and observe a varied and protected flora and fauna.

Starting from the Moulin de Lafargue (in the commune of Montredon-Labessonnié), we offer a completely revamped circular route based on the original Agate Trail, which is much longer and starts from the village. This circular route presents no particular difficulties for hikers accustomed to similar distances. At the end of the route, there is a steep climb with a 17% gradient. Enjoy your hike and take in the lovely views of the green pastures, the Lacaune hills and, weather permitting, the Pyrenees mountain range visible in the distance!

This hike, mostly along ridges, offers beautiful views of three valleys: the Ruisseau du Robert at the start, then the Gijou and finally the beautiful Vallée du Berlou at the end of the route. We are in the Haut-Languedoc Regional Park and the mountains rise up to the delight of the eyes. There are roads, of course, but most of them are quiet and offer a bucolic atmosphere, especially in early spring.

This route offers a wide variety of landscapes: fields, meadows, rivers and forests. Numerous crossings of valleys through which tributaries of the Dadou flow make this hike quite physically demanding. The villages on the hilltops, ridges or valley floors bear witness to farming and livestock rearing that is still active amidst unspoilt nature. This route combines the Chemin des Bergers in the north with the Sentier du Chevreuil in the south, already described on Visorando, returning via theGR® 36.

This region, between Mazamet and Castres, is extraordinary for its accumulation of granite boulders, left in all directions by nature. The walk is always sheltered from the sun and wind, and there is no tarmac. I am making an exception to my rule of ignoring the markings left on rocks and trees. This walk is well signposted, but only pay attention to the FFR markings. White and red lines for theGR® and yellow lines elsewhere.

Rock formations perched on the slopes, torrents of stones rushing down the ravines, enigmatic granite sculptures under the canopy of trees. The Sidobre is a place of discovery: around every bend in the path, in every clearing, and for everyone, according to their imagination.
