The Gervanne.

This adventurous journey goes from the hamlet of Plan-de-Baix at the foot of la Croix du Vellan to the banks of the Gervanne where you conquer the wilderness along old fishing paths. You cross the river 5 times along a Gue (crossing) to arrive at the impressive cascade de la Druise. This waterfall falls down from a height of 75 meters. From the waterfall you climb back from the valley to the hamlet of Ansage and follow the traffic-calmed road towards an old water mill, Moulin de la Pipe. Here you can take a break and then return via the hamlet of Le Vialaret to Plan-de-Baix.
