From Mont Lozère, the Tarn river makes its way over more than 300 km. From Villefort to Albi, the route follows the course of the river, inviting you to discover landscapes as different as each other, closely linked to geological history.
New landscapes as you travel
The GR® 736, Tarn Valley and Gorges route offers a multimodal and multi-activity discovery, from Villefort in Lozère to Albi in the Tarn. It is more than 300kms to go from the source of the Tarn to cross Gorges and Causses, massifs and plains and go from one adventure of walks and hikes to another: >>> the granites of Mont Lozère, the limestones of the Causses, the schists of the Cévennes and Ségala. The route is given in about 15 days, to be experienced in its entirety or in several sections and to fully appreciate each stage.

The GR® 736 map
The GR736 – GORGES AND VALLEY OF THE TARN explores preserved natural spaces, still wild and confidential. Such a journey is anticipated and prepared, like a great adventure – expedition!
Fortunately, the path is never far from a village, a farm and a "good soul" to assist you. The common thread of this adventure: a river as DNA, the Tarn, to follow from the sources to Albi, from canyons to valleys, from waterfalls to meanders.
