Hiking - The three hamlets

This walk at the limit between wooded Causse and bare Causse has panoramic views over the limestone plateau.
This ancestral track is partly on a draille (drovers’ road); the built heritage showcases history from the Neolithic to today: a protohistoric enclosure, jasses (overnight pens for livestock), lavognes (man-made watering-holes for livestock), a cross… there is also a strong presence of farming, which maintains the environment.
This walk is not advisable in hot weather. Make sure your equipment is appropriate for the day’s weather conditions. Remember that the weather changes quickly in the mountains. Take enough water, wear sturdy shoes and put on a hat. Please close all gates and barriers behind you.
