A beautiful route indeed. Large boulders have been placed on the stream bed and now allow for a "dry" crossing.

I didn't expect to find this little paradise so close to the city center. Unfortunately, when the water level is high, the path is impassable and flooded.

Leisure area on the site of an old mine freely accessible with many paths. We discover a lake, a skatepark, a small refreshment bar and the impressive Titans Park made up of old construction machinery. Empty out of season, the place is taken by storm in the summer.

Small medieval village ranked among the most beautiful in France, built on the banks of the river. Very beautiful bridge of Candèze, from the Romanesque period and small labyrinthine streets.
