A pleasant trail along the Coulomp River and beneath impressively tall chestnut trees with beautiful views of the sandstone cliffs. The village, with its beautiful sandstone houses, is a pleasant addition to the hike.
Description
From the square, take Rue de la Parra for a few meters, then the path on the left. When you reach the "Route du Clot" sign, turn right onto the road that leads across the fields and past a few houses. Before the end of the road, turn right between two houses. Follow this winding path through a beautiful chestnut forest to the Gassigné bridge, which spans the Coulomp. Cross the bridge and turn left. The small reservoir supplies a hydroelectric plant; swimming is strictly prohibited.
Go down the track first on the right bank then on the left bank of the Coulomp. Arriving at the Gay bridge, go up the Lare ravine towards a quarry, then take the RD 110. Take the wide path on the left to the "Porte de la Chataigneraie", remarkable for its entrance porch made of sandstone. Go up this track to the village.
Please note: the chestnut groves are private property, any harvesting (chestnuts, mushrooms, etc.) is prohibited.
