You walk through a forest in the direction of the Corniche de la Jonte from where you will be served unique panoramas on the Gorges de la Jonte. You pass two monoliths Vase de Chine and Vase de Sèvres, respectively 21 and 23 meters high. This is the natural habitat of the griffon vultures that you will certainly see floating above the cliffs. The second part you walk high above the Tarn with beautiful views. After a visit to the source Fontaine du Teil you return to the starting point.
