This walk is not difficult but is fairly demanding. It's a beautiful walk with outstanding views. Start at the church in Mons and follow the yellow/red route up through the village and up through the wooded slopes above Mons until you reach the col du Bardou. This side gives you some excellent views down the Jaur valley. Opposite you will see continuation of the yellow/red route don't take this but take the small blue route to the right of it. This will take you the short distance to the beautiful Baou filiti, lookout high above Heric with wonderful views down into the gorge and up to the Caroux. Now go down the GR red/white path into the gorge. If coming from Baou filiti, it's a left turn. Cross the little bridge at the bottom and head up to the waterfalls. Then onto Heric where you will find a little buvette for refreshments. Keep right and take the little road down to the car park at the bottom of the gorge. Wonderful views and waterfalls all the way down. Keep going until you see a right turn sign for the yellow/red route. Take this up a tiny, quite steep , rocky path. This will take you through the woods back to Mons. Say hello to the stone cottage by the bread oven for me on your way back.
