Departure from Sauclières (Aveyron)
This trail was created by the RPI (Inter-municipal Educational Group) of Saint-Jean-du-Bruel and Sauclières. It is usually walked in the opposite direction to the one suggested here, so as to tackle the route’s only difficulty (a short, stony climb to reach the realigned D7) at the start of the walk. A torch is required to cross the Bousquillous tunnel before returning to Sauclières, a small village well worth spending a little time exploring.

Departure from Nant (Aveyron)
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.

In the second part, the trail is off the beaten track and runs alongside the charming Crouzoulous stream. It will take you to the beautiful abandoned farm of Grandesc Haute, lost in the forest.
