    Following the main street we cross the village of Usseaux admiring the many beautiful murals, after the large wash house leaving the last houses, we encounter the Canton mill, a historic water mill with its large water wheel, the last remaining of the three present in Usseaux. We now take the marked Hare path. The path enters a magnificent larch grove; we follow it until we meet path 332A and take it, turning left and proceeding towards the pastures of Montagne di Usseaux.When we reach a fork, we turn left onto trail 332 and then at the fork below turn left again, always keeping to trail 332 following the obvious trail We meet a footbridge that crosses a stream and becomes a wide track called the Sentiero del pensiero trail that takes us back to the parking lot at the entrance to the village.Along the way, a series of wooden signs that recite maxims and aphorisms in French Provençal (patois) and Piedmontese characterize the trail.

    Author’s recommendation

    The Usseaux Murals and the Canton Mill are worth a visit.

    The route can also be done clockwise by e.bike and mtb for the more trained.
