    Très belle randonnée avec comme point d’orgue les canoles (ou failles de canalettes) mais le site est très fréquenté, c’est pour cela que l’accès au site est fermé en octobre et novembre depuis 2025.

    Outre les moulins ce sentier nous fait découvrir une trentaine d’épouvantails. A la fin du sentier on peut visiter l'exposition d'art contemporain au chateau de Taurines du 20 juin au 18 octobre . Cette année c'est une artiste bolivienne Kenia Almaraz Murillo qui présente ses œuvres, accompagnée par Eliott Causse, à base de laine et de textiles

    Alors Alors, Bonjour, je ne sais pas de quand date ce trajet et avec quel systeme gps, cependant, pour l'avoir fait hier le 16/06/2021, part la grotte La Bouffie (magnifique) oblig d'abandonne. D'ailleurs pour info et y accder impossible de descendre direct sinon en rappel (ce que j'essayerai aussi pour le fun) il faut partir gauche et suivre le chemin qui y descend. Et donc aprs c'est un cul de sac il faut remonter. Je ne renonce pas pour essayer de trouver La Beaume mais ce sera une nouvelle 'excursion'. Dans tout les cas merci tout de mme pour cette dcouverte, je ne les connaissais pas.

    Schöne Bergwanderung, Dauer ca 3h, mit Panoramapausen etwas mehr einplanen. Besteigung der Erimitage ist abenteuerlich und auch gefährlich! Entgegengesetzte Laufrichtung geht auch gut, da ist die gelbe Markierung besser erkennbar. Parkplatz am Berg in Peyreleau
