Description détaillée

Strating from Pierrefort at the tourist office, near the church.

From a fairly regular profile up to the larch wood of Lachamp, you will take a long descent which will lead you next to the Puy Renel to arrive at the hamlet of Chabannes (orientation table of Cheyla at a few hundred meters).
After the picturesque village of Oradour, you descend to the Malbec stream.
Then, a small steep slope leads you to the hamlet of Falitoux before starting a very steep descent that will take you through the charming village of Sainte-Marie and end at the Pont de Tréboul.
To reach Pierrefort, a 5 km effort with a significant difference in altitude will be necessary.

Exceptionally, during the lake emptying of the Sarrans dam, you can discover the old Treboul bridge dating from the 15th century.
To see: the church at Sainte Marie with its stained glass windows signed by Jean Cocteau
