From the Brasc plateau to the banks of the Tarn river, a breathtaking hike that winds through the pines and connects the perched village with a small chapel below.

Lookout post overlooking the Tarn valley, the village of Brasc welcomes you for a hike with an average height difference, through woods and valleys, to the chapel of Saint-Dalmazi, a Visigothic building nestled near the river. Along the way, don't miss a heritage curiosity: the Tourelle cross, a 15th century sculpture of Celtic inspiration.

Description

  1. From the cross situated on the northeast side of the church square, head towards Réquista. After 50m you reach a road junction, where you turn to the right. After approximately 500 m you will reach a pine wood, take a hairpin bend to the right; then follow an ancient roadway for about 3 km towards the Mas de Gély.
  2. Once above the Mas de Gély, take the track leading through woodland, then onto a path that runs through some trees.  After 100 m take the path to the left which becomes a meandering slope down to Guiraldou, Le Roc; From here follow the D902 to the right.
  3. Once you’ve reached Saint-Dalmazi, you will see some houses situated up ahead. Between the houses to your right there is a steep passage which will take you up to Sénils where you then join a narrow road which joins the D552. Follow this road to the right up to the village of Brasc.
