Baumettes du Caylaret and Natural Arch
Highlight • Cave
Once you leave the GR path, it is not easy at all to follow any semblance of a path... The best thing is to follow my tracks, BUT given how well the GPS works at this point, it will be complicated. You have to go around the massive rock (roughly), and then pass between the two large rocks.
The slope is steep, with some slippery passages.
People who are not comfortable with heights, or a bit of climbing, do not venture there.
Once at the top, between the two rocks, you will pass under a beautiful arch, then going down, and going back up on your left, you will come across a cave.
For the other caves, you will have to climb a little more on the GR, and join a clearly visible fault, then cross the ledge! Access is also dangerous, full of voids.
Then you can see another cave a little further, which will require a little impractical climbing.
