Departure from La Canourgue (Lozère)
This fairly demanding route, despite being only 8 km long, takes you along the edge of the Ravin du Valat de la Curée before returning via the hamlet of Les Balmes. A steep descent then follows to reach the site of the Chapelle Saint-Frézal, a picnic area to the south of the village of La Canourgue.
To extend the walk, a visit to this picturesque village – known as ‘the little Venice of Lozère’ – allows you to discover, as you wander through the old cobbled streets, a Renaissance house, the Place au Blé, with its medieval half-timbered house, the Place du Portal and the Clock Tower – a remnant of the old citadel – as well as many other sights, by following a route suggested by the tourist office.

On this fifth stage, we’ll follow the River Tarn as closely as possible, often right by the water’s edge in a rural setting or on a riverside terrace, always on the left bank. If you want to enjoy it at a leisurely pace, you’ll need to split it into two stages, heading towards La Malène, for example.

Thisfourth stage of the Tour du Causse Méjean leaves the Gorges du Tarn to climb back up onto the Causse Méjean and cover nearly half of its northern section. After a steep climb to the hamlet of La Caxe, the walker first passes through wooded areas and fields before reaching more open terrain beyond Montignac. A detour via the Roc des Hourtous, with its breathtaking views of the Gorges du Tarn and the vultures, is one of the highlights of the stage.
