Causse Méjean.

The Walk is indicated by PR "Sentier du Pradal" at the starting point, but this route is a combination of different walks. From the starting point you walk in the direction of the television mast on the edge of the Causse Méjean. At the television mast you follow the edge of the plateau until the exit for Croupillac. Here you leave the edge of the plateau while following a path next to a fence until you reach a menhir. From this point the walk goes along the route of the GRP Tour Du Causse Méjean back to the starting point.
