The story

You are on the eastern Cavillore pass, about 1,030 meters above the sea. Two avens open near the trail, deep shafts in the limestone. Watch your step and keep away from the edge. Further on, the trail crosses slabs grooved by water and passes karst sinkholes. A straight Roman road runs across the plateau. Then the trail joins the old road from Gourdon to Cipières, crosses the western pass and goes down to the highway in four big zigzags.
