MTB route no. 24 Peyrelade
This circuit will take you through the village of Roussayrolles, its 13th-century church "Notre Dame," and the hamlet of Mespoulet. You will also discover the "Peyro Levado" dolmen in Vaour, classified as a historical monument in 1886, and enjoy beautiful views of the rolling landscapes of the Causse.
You will follow a small, winding road that passes under the hazel trees' canopy, where you might hear the spring that emerges by the roadside. Along the paths of the Causse, you can admire the flowers that line your route.
Description
Starting from Roussayrolles, you cross the village and continue along the Chemin des Nougayrols towards the "sentier des écoliers," typical of the Causse.

At the intersection in the cedar plantation, turn left and follow the gravel path to the Dolmen crossroads. You then ascend via the Chemin de La Peyre and the trails through the chestnut woods towards the "Liberte" crossroads and the place called "La Fleur de Lys."
