Clot Bernard – La Rate

Take the Suéio rise, then right onto the Chemin d’Argenton. Pass over the railroad line, which you will cross again a little further up. The path twists and turns upwards before coming out onto a track. Turn right, then immediately left; the route crosses the magnificent Chastel chestnut grove before rejoining the GTPA. Turn right, passing the ruins of Collet Gouiran and La Rate. Turn right at the crossroads. The path descends to Ravin de la Beïte, then joins the Argenton track. Follow it southwards. At the crossroads, turn right, passing the Chapelle Saint-Pierre, then right onto the Argenton track. Pass the hamlet of La Rouie, and leave the track on the left at the crossroads. The path descends steeply through an area of chestnut groves before reaching Le Fugeret.
Please note: chestnut groves are private property and harvesting (chestnuts, mushrooms, etc.) is prohibited.
