A beautiful hike starting from Ayssènes in the little-known Tarn region, culminating at the Notre-Dame-du-Désert chapel. Beautiful panoramic views of the Gorges du Tarn and the Lévézou hills. Despite numerous shaded sections, avoid doing this hike in the heat of the day or in wet weather due to the significant elevation gain.

Just a few minutes from Millau, this walk combines superb landscapes, the viaduct, the village of Peyre (listed as one of the "Most Beautiful Villages in France") and a bucolic little path along the Tarn.

In fine weather, the views from Caylus Rock are superb. The walk ends with a tour of the town centre.

Who has never dreamed, like Icarus, of seeing the world from above... More prosaically, this walk will take us between the legs of the smallest pier of the viaduct. A quick glance at the chapel of Brocuéjouls, another at a double chamber dolmen, not to mention the exceptional panorama of the Tarn valley below. In short, a family-friendly route with a moderate elevation gain. Enjoy your walk.
