Description by the author

Discover a true haven of peace in the heart of the Massif Central with this 11.2-kilometer hike that invites you to explore untouched nature. Following a loop trail, youll be guided by signs along the way, steering clear of the urban chaos. The difficulty level is moderate, letting you enjoy the 326 meters of elevation gain without too much hassle. Check out the Château du Colombier, a piece of history, and get inspired by the amazing work of stained glass artist Emilie Séguret, whose art brightens up the area. Most of the path is unpaved, with each step bringing you closer to the stunning natural beauty around you. Dive into this calming scenery, away from busy roads, and let the magic of the Vallée du Cruou sweep you away.

Additional information:

A plateau (the Causse Comtal), carved by a valley full of contrasts. This center of civilization boasts a rich heritage, both architectural (castle, manor houses) and natural (expanses of boxwood and junipers).
