As with all other tours of La Ligne Verte you'll spend 90% of the walk on (single) tracks and unpaved roads. Villages you will pass are old (houses and churches from 14th century) small villages with up to 200 inhabitants. Millau is a town with 20000 people. In between the villages, with the necessary stores, you will pass farms but will need to take your lunch with you. The hotels can provide a take away picknick (price € 8,- to € 12,-).
You will walk 3 to 4 kms an hour.
