Truyère (rivière) walks

Starting from Loubaresse, near an exit from the A75 motorway, this route follows the GR® de Pays circular Boucle de la Truyère and a variant that "turns" around the Truyère river to the village of Chaliers, which is well worth taking the time to explore. The route takes small local roads on both the left and right banks of this river with its wild gorges, crossing it twice via footbridges at Valadour and Terran. The actual duration of the route is 4 hours and 40 minutes (GPS watch data), including a short stop in Chaliers.

A superb hike, mostly through woods, to discover the wild and little-known Truyère gorges. Suitable for experienced walkers only due to the distance and elevation gain.

This hike, leading from the Thérondels plateau to the wooded slopes of the Truyère, offers a bird's eye view of the narrow "fjord" formed by the Sarrans Lake reservoir. The Laussac peninsula and its splendid chapel are one of the most iconic sites in Carladez, north of Aveyron.

This is an easy family trail that allows you to discover the rich local flora and fauna. Only a stony section at the start and end of the lake may make this short hike difficult for those who are less mobile.

Route through rolling countryside with views of the Lanau dam. Magnificent houses in Orcières.

This walk will take you through the steep slopes of the Entraygues “la Jolie” vineyard and its wooded hillsides, all enhanced by the panoramic view over the Lot valley.

A walk dotted with wayside crosses, which once served to guide travellers but also served as a reminder to the local population of their duty of devotion to God. By the way, how many did you count?

A walk alternating between forest sections and stretches across meadows. Best enjoyed on foot or by mountain bike, following the small, unspoilt paths.

A walk through woods and meadows to explore the medieval site of Apcher.

Over the centuries, the Truyère has carved out deep gorges which, with the rising water levels caused by the construction of the Grandval and Lanau dams, have given way to a natural landscape of surprising and contrasting beauty: islands and peninsulas, cirques with distant shores, mysterious meanders, narrow gorges opening onto vast expanses of water, a wooded valley… Following the PR la Mourache route, the walk offers magnificent views from the embankment supporting the Alleuze road. Walking the route in the opposite direction offers more shade, but do keep an eye out for the signposting – which, to be honest, is rather sparse.

A magnificent walk to enjoy with the family near the village of Entraygues-sur-Truyère and just a stone’s throw from the Poterie du Don. You’ll enjoy panoramic views over the Lot and Truyère valleys. Can also be done by mountain bike or on horseback. The first half is shaded.

A pleasant walk after the climb along the historic hillside paths, where you can enjoy the scent of pine resin in the forest. You’ll also be able to admire the chapels and the typical architecture of the half-timbered houses.

A beautiful walk starting from Entraygues-sur-Truyère, where you’ll climb through a pine forest to reach Ginolhac, offering exceptional views of the Truyère and Lot gorges, as well as the Aubrac plateaus and the Cantal mountains.

Route linking Espeyrac on the GR®65 with the medieval town of Entraygues on the GR®465 via the Chemin de la Reine Margot. You’ll enjoy magnificent views over the Lot and Truyère valleys, as well as the Monts du Cantal and the Aubrac Plateau. Please note: unless you’re continuing on to Entraygues, this route will require you to leave one car here and another in Espeyrac for the return journey.

Connection between Entraygues-sur-Truyère and Espeyrac via the historic Queen Margot trail. Breathtaking views of the Fel hills Regional Nature Reserve and the Lot valley, then the Dazes valley. Espeyrac is the last stop before Conques on the Way of St James via the GR®65 long-distance footpath.

Do you want to commune with nature, admire its beauty at the slow pace of walking, walk to get to know yourself better, get back to basics, push yourself: set off on an adventure along the Camino de Santiago. That’s what I’m offering you with this route. I set off from my village in the Jura (the first six stages are not part of the signposted routes of the Camino de Santiago) to reach Santiago de Compostela in Spain, but there’s nothing stopping you from setting off from your own home to join the route at any stage, starting from Le Puy-en-Velay or any other town along the way. .

Nineteenth stage of the Way of St James. This final stage in Margeride before crossing the Aubrac is fairly short and allows you to recover from the previous stages by visiting the pretty town of Aumont-Aubrac. You’ll be walking through a landscape of streams and mountain flora, with magnificent scenery!
