Presentation
This walk will allow you to see some typical villages of Bozel, following the "Miner Path" which was the miner's itinerary who went up to Tincave's mine which was still open right up to 1960.
Departure: Tourist Office.
From the Tourist Office, head towards the church, then go around it on the right, climb up alongside the Sarrazine Tower, then take the ‘Chemin du Mont Jovet’ to climb up to Villemartin.
Once in Villemartin, pass in front of the St Jacques chapel and go up the street called ‘La Grande Sarrire’. At the top, take the street on the right for 50 metres, then turn left onto the path leading to Le Râtelard, then Lachenal. Continue, crossing Le Bonrieu, to Tincave. From the bottom of this village, descend to Bozel.
Variations:
- Variation from the Tourist Office to extend your loop: once you have gone around the church, take Rue de l'Eglise towards Brides les Bains via the Sentier des Vignes path, then after a little over 2 km, head towards Villemartin.
- From Villemartin, a variation allows you to descend to Bozel.
- From Lachenal, you can descend towards Bozel (turn off before crossing the stream).
- From Tincave, a path descends to Villard and then returns to Bozel.
