The national park is an unrestricted natural area but subjected to regulations which must be known by all visitors.
14 km from Meymac, follow the D 36.
The first part of the circuit offers magnificent views of the small tributaries of the Diège that flow through the heather moors. On the other hand, the slope of the Vienne appears much more wooded. Numerous springs rise on this slope and quickly join to form the Vienne. A rich and satisfying circuit!
