The path was lost for me when I was about to cross back, found again thanks to a cairn (thanks) then lost again a little further up. The GPS is struggling. Quite a few brambles to get out of the canyon on the Lussas side.

sometimes difficult to follow the route but very pleasant to walk in the (dry) river bed

Vogüé, the charming village with small houses at the foot of an imposing rock face. Stone calades (small paved alleys), typical of the old villages in Ardèche with narrow streets beautiful to drive through and catch your breath.

A beautifully situated village with narrow streets. The large bridge is a great place to swim in the Ardèche. One of the shops, La Virginie Episerie d'Ardèche, on the grande rue, serves delicious goat ice cream and offers shady seating. They also sell snacks and many regional delicacies to give as gifts.

Oh yes, there is also a “colletje” of approx. 6.5 km with a maximum gradient of 18%!

Beautiful drive partly via small roads from Le Teil, Viviers, st. Thomé, Valvignere, Bourg-St. Andeol and Villeneuve-de-Berg to St. Jean-Le-Centenier.
