Randonnée "Le ruisseau de Marsende"
Follow a wild, secret valley and let yourself be enchanted by the Ségala.
Parking: stadium
2h15- 6.5km ? ascent 250m ? Yellow markings
A-From the stadium, take the road up to Sicarie (leave the entrance to the arboretum on the left and the Membre road on the right). After the farm, keep left on a track leading down to a small stream.
Leave a first track on the right, then a second on the left, skirting a pasture and descending to find the Marsende stream.
1-Cross a cement footbridge and turn left on a sunken track for 100m. Bend left onto a gravel path which continues along a sunken, sometimes damp track to the road leading to Sarrette.
Go straight ahead on a grassy track leading to a pasture. Cross the small stream and take the path through woods and pastures up to Mas Viel.
2-At the entrance to the hamlet of Mas-Viel, after the first farmhouse turn left, go downhill for 300m and then fork left onto a dirt track leading down into the valley.
Follow a small stream which is a tributary of the Marsende stream.
Cross this stream and then cross the Marsende stream 3 times (footbridges).
Before the third footbridge, pass the remains of the old mill.
Follow the stream to the right for a moment, then go left up through the woods and along a pasture towards the arboretum.
On the way up, fork right onto a steep path, enter the woods and follow a "carral" to the arboretum and stadium.
On the way back, take a detour to discover the Boussac church.
