Explanatory break at the edge of the natural pools of the Vis at the bottom of the cirque, then up the valley by a well-shaded path along the river until the resurgence of the Foux, a real oasis between the limestone plateau of Larzac and that of Blandas. We will discover a patrimonial feat: the mill of the Foux, using the driving force of the resurgence to grind the cereals harvested on the causses for centuries. Return by the miller's path.
