From Le Caylar to the hamlet of La Roque (Warning November 2025) A landslide is present in this sector. Be careful: a temporary route modification is in place, but it is not yet marked on the ground. The detour is shown on the last photo of the sheet. From the central square of Le Caylar, famous for its sculpted tree, take the Quai street eastward and follow the common markings of the GRP, the PR Sud Larzac and the GR 71. At the sports grounds, leave the PR and continue on the GRP and GR 71 markings. At the intersection with the RD 9 (Saint-Pierre road), turn right then left onto the RD 155E2 (towards Camp Rouch / les Barasquettes). After 4 km, before the hamlet of les Barasquettes, turn right onto a grassy track. Continue for 8.5 km following the common markings of GR 71 and GRP until Soubès. At Soubès, go around the schools (view of the castle) and continue left following the markings of GRP and PR Camin Farrat ascending eastward on the heights of the village. Continue for 2.5 km: on the paved ascent, leave on the right the first 2 intersections linked to the PR Cirque du Bout du Monde. 100 m after the second intersection, leave the paved ascent and the PR Camin Farrat to take the GRP right (path under the cliffs of the Cirque du Bout du Monde). After reaching the plateau, the route reaches the hamlet of La Roque. 22.5 km / +680m / -750m

From the hamlet of La Roque to Mas Aubert From the hamlet of La Roque, follow the GRP Tour du Larzac Méridional for 2.5 km to Saint-Pierre-de-la-Fage. The route follows the edge of the cliffs and offers beautiful views of the Parlatges forest. Arrival at Saint-Pierre-de-la-Fage is marked by a beautiful mill. Continue straight and before the Temple, take the GRP marking to the right passing then in front of the church. Head towards the forest in a south-east direction following the common markings of the GRP and Passa Meridia. After 1 km, continue straight south leaving the Passa Meridia marking. After 500 m the route merges with the PR Notre-Dame de Parlatges. Continue south for 1 km. At the intersection with the GR 7, the GRP route continues southeast towards Mont Saint-Baudille, following Passa Meridia and GR 74 for 7 km. Shortly before the summit of Baudille (parking), the route turns left onto a section shared with the PR Mont Saint-Baudille and Passa Meridia. It is worth making a detour to admire the exceptional panorama from the Baudille orientation table (600 m round trip following PR and GR 74 markings). From the Baudille parking, the GRP follows the Passa Meridia route northwest on the flanks of the Séranne for 6 km, with panoramic views of the Saint-Guilhem mountains, the Hérault valley and Pic-Saint-Loup. The GRP leaves Passa Meridia to the right to reach the road and the hamlet of Lavagnes. The common route of the GRP and GR 74 leads to the Mas Aubert lodge, 700 m past Lavagnes. 19.5 km / +444m / -530m

Until Navacelles, the route also shares the PR Navacelles, Causse and Gorges de la Vis. Continue 10 km on the common section of GR 7 and PR to the hamlet of Navacelles: after 2 km on the causse, the route descends into the Vis gorges and continues to the hamlet overlooking the Vis. At the hamlet of Navacelles, do not cross the medieval bridge, and stay on the GRP for 8.5 km to Vissec. The route is common with PR Cirque de Navacelles and Moulins de la Foux up to the junction with the Moulins de la Foux: a detour to visit the site is recommended (200 m round trip by PR). 19 km / +570m / -550m
