A family-friendly introduction to exploring the Bonnan Valley.

A gentle trail starting from the village of Milhars, known for its stone walls and its feudal castle, built on the remains of a 13th-century castrum and restored in 1630. The castle is situated on a promontory overlooking the Cérou River.

Not far from the village, the Bonnan Valley has been designated as a "Sensitive Natural Area" by the Tarn department. It is a unique and protected site. Here, you can admire a petrified waterfall, which is dry in the summer but cascades 40 meters high during the wet season. You can also observe rare butterflies, dragonflies, orchids, lilies, columbines, and more.


Description

Starting from the village of Milhars, in front of the Town Hall, cross the departmental road and follow the Cérou River to the La Garenne mill. Next, climb along the Bonnan stream in the valley of the same name.

Follow the path to the right, and after passing the Bonnan waterfall (on your right), return along the other side of the loop, which is drier and sunnier. Finally, retrace your steps along the Cérou River, passing under the castle, back to the village and the Town Hall.
