Randonnée "La Vallée du Viaur - Le chemin de Boudou"
This wild valley fascinated Jean Boudou, an Occitan poet and writer, and fed his imagination...
Leave the village of Naucelle on the D58 towards Pont de Cirou
Parking : village square in Lespinassole
3h15 - 11km - 2* (steep path between 1 and 2. At point 2 impossible by high water) - difference in height 300m - yellow markings.
A-From the village of Lespinassole, take a small tarmac road leading to the hamlet of Bouyssou
After the first houses and after a right turn, turn right on a farm track which continues on a steep and winding path going down to the Viaur valley
1-At the confluence of the Lieux and the Viaur, do not cross the footbridge and take on the right the fisherman's path along the Viaur (path sometimes muddy and a little difficult, impossible by high water)
After the reservoir of the Tourène mill, continue on a grassy path joining the hamlet of La Roque
2-At the end of the village, turn right on a wide track going back to the D58. Turn left on the road for 300m. Then turn right in a hairpin towards the Garène barn
Pass in front of the barn, follow a wide track which goes along meadows, joins the banks of the Viaur, and goes along the "Aventure" site
The path narrows and becomes a pleasant path that you have to leave before crossing a small tributary stream of the Viaur
3-Take on the right a path which goes up this small brook then abandons it by making a right hairpin
Go up the plateau, through chestnut and oak trees towards the hamlet of Figuier. Find a small road on the right towards the village of Lespinassole
Variant : At point 3, follow the service road on the left to the Cirou bridge (old bridge, restaurant). Come back and go up to Cirounet then follow a dirt track on the right to find the main circuit.
