Millau can best be accessed by train/bus from Montpellier or Rodez.

The H23 is a spectacular walk through the Causses du Larzac and the Causse Noir. A causse is a limestone plateau.

Beautiful scenery, lovely footpaths and remote treasures will be your daily bread...

The route will lead you to access magical places. Here, every step takes you to a visible trace of human history like the centuries old stone-built houses, the lovely villages built during Middle Ages, the awesome monuments of cave-dwellers from prehistoric times.

The main part of the region is built upon a limestone plateau cut by deep valleys and - in May and June -  covered with orchids and with small white oaks.
The Grands Causses are a hiking region par excellence. This walk is designed for those who are willing to walk up to 23 kms and 7-8 hours a day.  

 

You'll be in the magnificent canyon de la Dourbie.

 

 

 

Halfway you'll come back in Millau and be heading into the Tarn valley, walking under the Millau Viaduct.
