Legend has it that a statue of the Virgin was discovered by shepherds in the hollow of a chestnut tree. The discovery of the Notre-Dame-de-Lez chapel is undoubtedly the highlight of this superb itinerary. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary, this sanctuary was built in 1745 in the middle of the forest on the site of Lez. To get there, you will have to walk along the Combellou valley and its stream, then on the way back, cross the plateau and return to Taussac.

If the itinerary requires a good physical condition, a stony descent requires a correct technical control
