The 6 walking trails through the Cité de Pierres in Aveyron
The walking trails in the Cité de Pierres are some of the most beautiful in Aveyron.
The interconnected paths, of differing difficulty ratings, thread their way through the rock formations and through the undergrowth, emerging onto panoramic outcrops, running along ridges or meandering through maze-like narrow passages.
They allow you to see different panoramic views, Giant Rock formations, rock shelters and sheepfolds.
There are a number of ways to discover this environment:
- Educational panels,
- Orientation tables,
- Easy-to-follow signposting on the ground,
- A map of the Cité, available at the entrance,
