If you like hiking and have a good head for heights then this is the trail for you. It's the start of the old mule track that goes from Pont du Loup deep in the valley of the River Loup up to Gourdon, the archetypal perched village 500 metres higher. I have no idea what the gradient is but believe me, it is steep so grab your walking boots, take a deep breath and up we go!Tomorrow we'll have a look round the first bend..
