Hiking - The Goats’ Bridge

In the heart of the Borgne Valley, this is a short loop around the Gardon. Its usually calm flow has nevertheless carried many stories of water, some of them furiously memorable. Moving from the sunny slope to the shaded slope, you will also see how human adaptation to the environment has shaped the Cévennes landscape.
A walk around the Gardon and its historic floods between Saumane and L’Estréchure.
Be careful: the return is along the departmental road 907.
Before setting out on a trail, check that it is suitable for your activity and level. Remember that the weather changes quickly in the mountains. Bring sufficient water.
