This route winds through the plain of the Cévennes in Ardèche: goat farms, limestone, and open landscapes await you.
Take the time to discover the outsider art works of Alphonse Gurlhie. This eccentric character, born in Chandolas, was both a poacher, fisherman, and hunter. Totems, bestiaries, and imaginary animals populate his work, making him one of the masters of outsider art.

Description

Leave the parking lot and turn right onto the road. Continue along the road and, at the intersection, take the left path known as "Chemin de la Vignasse." Keep going and then proceed straight.
