Beautiful scenery, lovely footpaths and remote treasures will be your daily bread...

The route will lead you to access magical places. Here, every step takes you to a visible trace of human history like the centuries old stone-built houses, the lovely villages built during Middle Ages, the awesome monuments of cave-dwellers from prehistoric times.

The main part of the region is built upon a limestone plateau cut by deep valleys and covered with orchids and with small white oaks.
This is a hiking region par excellence, designed if you
are willing to walk up to 24 kmand 7-8 hours a day. If you want to enjoy this spectacular walk but not the long distances ask for the supplement of all transfers possible. On your way you'll find subterranean rivers and impressive caves, such as the pink cave of Dargilan and vultures high above. This is La Belle France at full length, beginning with your first (and last night) in the Château de Creissels near Millau.

Find here a description and pictures of the scenery you'll be walking in.
