Route details
Description
From the Place du Pré commun car park, go up the avenue des Gorges du Tarn, past Trmoulis.
About 150 m before the roundabout, turn left on the path that goes up to Boulay. Follow the path that curves to the right to reach Coustous. Cross the hamlet and take the tarred path straight ahead which leads to the road to Fraissinet. Turn right, cross the hamlet and continue on the road up to a bend.
Leave the tarmac to take a path that goes right and gently climbs the bottom of a valley. After two bends, arrive at a path, follow it to the left and arrive at a road. Turn left to the hamlet of La Roquette. Continue the track through the trees.
Leave the motorable track and take the path that goes to the left. Follow the markings for about 1,5 km to arrive above the houses of the hamlet of Balmes. Arrive on a small road and follow it to the right for about 300 m.
Leave the tarmac by turning left at the small iron cross. Go through two wooden gates (to be closed tightly).
Before arriving at a large track, turn left and pass the small wooden gate. Cross the private property of Plo de Lacan following the markings. Go through a second wooden gate to leave the property, and take a path that runs along the Vallon de la Curée then descends rapidly to rue Callongue.
