Halfway you'll come back in Millau and after will be heading into the Tarn valley, past the new Millau Viaduct. 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 or human history like the centuries old stone-built houses, the lovely villages built during Middle Ages, the awesome monuments or cave-dwellers from prehistoric times.
The main part or the region is built upon a limestone plateau
cut by deep valleys and in May and June covered with orchids and with small
white oaks.
Characteristic ***hotels, good food, nice ambiance, splendid nature, the spectacular scenery of canyons. And a mix or prehistoric, even dinasour times (you'll walk in their footprints!), roman and modern times (the beautiful Viaduc de Millau designed by the British architect Norman Foster. The 8-days hike starts with a walk from
Millau to the Dourbie canyon, over the Causse du Larzac. Next a
walk over the Causse Noir to Le Rozier. Day 4 (transfer to the Chaos de Montpellier-le-Vieux
with its bizarre rockformations) past spectaculair but safe abysses back to
the dynamic town of Millau or Creissels. Find here a
description or the area
you'll be walking in. You will walk past and under the Millau viaduct. Find here some pictures or the scenery or the Dourbie canyon and or Tarn valley.
