Between willows and pailhats – The walks of Léa and Tino

The Couze du Valbeleix, descended from the heights of the Cézallier, has carved a magnificent valley. Man carved terraces there using dry stone walls, the "pailhats", to be able to cultivate on these steep slopes.

Starting point - Take the small road on the left, opposite the loom to be fitted. Cross the bridge over the Couze du Valbeleix (view of the pailhats) and turn immediately to the left. Go along the river and join the road. Go left, cross the bridge, continue for 20 m until the junction with a path on the right.

1 - Take it and climb into the woods by a small path to reach a path, (on the right promontory with a view on the peak of Brionnet, the Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Carmel chapel and the Courgoul gorges). Go down to the left, walk along the terraces called "pailhats". At the road, turn left to reach the starting point.
