Departure below Place de l'Orm, parking. Listen to the stones that mark this Little Vadrouille. They show you the way and tell you about the men and animals who lived in this country. Viewpoint, small lake ideal for a picnic and waterfall (if it has rained recently) complete the route. Your guide: the fox > The numbered cairns refer to the “Little Vadrouilles” booklets which evoke different themes (material and natural heritage, local stories and legends, etc.). They are available at Pom's multi-service points as well as at the châteaux of Termes and Villerouge-Termenès.

Be careful, the fire risk is often high, especially in summer, and can lead to flower bed closures. Find out before you go consulting the fire risk map for outdoor activities.
Fires strictly prohibited. Do not smoke and never throw cigarette butts in nature. Fires are numerous and catastrophic in our region. In the event of a fire or accident: give alert 18 or 112 from a cell phone.
Protect yourself from the sun and take enough water with you.
Avoid picking flowers and plants. Take all your trash. Close fences and keep dogs on a leash in pasture areas, villages and protected areas.

Mountain bike routes: the routes are often shared with hikers or other users (cars, tractors, etc.). Be careful and always anticipate that a pedestrian may be present around a bend to have time to brake if necessary. Pedestrians have priority in principle, slow down at crossings or stop if the configuration of the terrain requires you to do so.
Thank you and happy hiking!

Pretty little hike. The trail is well marked except for the part up to the hermitage which was tricky. There were butterflies everywhere and many colors of vegetation. The hike is definitely easy, we hiked slowly and it took just under three hours. The town of Massac is very cute with many healthy looking vegetable gardens.

Very nice trip. The map displayed is not in Massac.
