Tarassac.

Above Tarassac. A lovely last walk, exploring the opposite side of the valley to Mons. Through Tarassac and up to the col des Parties. Here I continued on the small track straight up the hill rather than turning left to the river or right up the wide zigzags. This is a very pleasant track through lovely chestnuts and wonderful views of the Caroux. You can keep going on this track once you reach the top or like me take the track to your right which joins back up with the wide zigzag one. I came back down here but there are many possibilities if you wish to explore the tops. The views on the way down are towards Vieussan and the Jaur valley to the west. Once you return to the co des Parties cross to the track opposite but almost immediately you will see a tiny path on the left. Take this to reach the edge of the escapement above the River Orb, there are some amazing views towards the Caroux here. Now return to the track back down to Tarassac, it's a pretty little village. The yellow/blue bridge has some wonderful views too over the river to the old mill. Once over take the little track opposite the fire station to Verdier Bas, through the hamlet and up the little path beside the River Heric to the gorge car park. If you have come from Mons as I had done it's through Verdier Haut now and on through the pretty chestnut woods to the village.
