Les bacs de Montmeyre

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step :

Étape 1 : Opposite the start sign, go right through the grassy area and take the path to the left. At the T-junction, turn left onto a tarmac road; follow this to the right for 150 m until you reach the D68 road. Cross the road and take the tarmac track opposite. At the fork, take the right-hand track for 1.2 km. You’ll come to a large crossroads.

Étape 2 : Turn right for 170 m. You’ll come to the Montmeyre stele and ferries (stele in memory of the Ardents maquis; water troughs). Make a U-turn and return to the crossroads. Continue straight ahead on a wide track for 1.3 km to a T-junction in a clearing. Turn right for 100 m (water trough, Ceyssat ferry).

Étape 3 : Return to the crossroads and continue straight on for approx. 2.5 km to a junction of 4 wide paths.

Étape 4 : Turn left (viewpoint – a few dozen metres after the crossroads, view of the Banne d’Ordanche and, a little further on, the Sancy massif) and join the D68 road, cross it and continue straight ahead. At the road, turn left for 100 m to reach the starting point.
