Take the road which leads to Saint-Victor (D 50) for 3 km.When you arrive at the “Moulin du Juge” (signpost), just after the bridge, take a left turn to a place called “La Roche” and go up to the Domaine de Nougayrolles cycling a trail, which begins under the shade of oak and chestnut trees, and then provides a stunning view over Saint-Affrique.Join up with the road which runs along a ridge towards the North. Carry on cycling along this road for approximately 2 km.Leave the road when you arrive at the bottom of a short slope and ride straight onto a “bouissière” (a narrow passage defined by two rows of box trees). You will see a dolmen close by.Carry on northward and re-join the ridge road from which you will see the famous Millau Viaduct.Shortly after you will see a water tower, take the turn to your right, which is a small path running along a trail that leads to a “lavogne” (a man made pond where ewes drink), there is also a well, nearby a quarry.
