History: Château of Le Villaret
This 16th-century château protects the hamlet of Le Villaret. Like all the land around, it belonged to the barons of Roquedols and was lived in by the youngest of the family. For several decades, it was the property of the writer and journalist Jean Lartéguy.

Water: Fageole and Croix-de-Fer brooks
The Fageole is a tributary of the Croix-de-Fer. The latter flows into the Béthuzon at Le Villaret, which flows into the Jonte at Meyrueis, then the Tarn at Le Rozier and the Garonne at Moissac. These two brooks are at the head of the Atlantic drainage basin. They are home to (usually small) trout. Adult trout live in these environments that lack organic matter by feeding on the larvae of mayflies, whose larval stage is aquatic and lasts for several months.

Fauna: White-throated dipper (Cinclus cinclus)
You may have the opportunity of seeing a white-throated dipper here, a brown and white bird the size of a blackbird. It has a very particular hunting technique: it plunges suddenly, headfirst, using its wings to reach the riverbed. It prefers to move upriver. Its diet consists of small crustaceans, aquatic insects and leeches.
[Trek] The streams walk
Go through the village to get to the Croix-de-fer stream. Cross it and go uphill for about 100 m towards a crossroads. Turn right and go through the village again. Walk alongside the stream, then follow its tributary, the Fageole. Cross it to continue climbing through the woodland to join a wide forest track. Turn left and continue for 1.5 kilometres. Then take a path going downhill on your left, which is suitable for motor vehicles for 500 m, then take a path on the left that overlooks the Croix-de-Fer stream and goes down to the village of Le Villaret. Cross the stream at the ford and go back up to the village of Le Villaret.Modified: 16 weeks ago
