Description of the route
After having gone through the village of Foy, in the municipality of Fontainemore, continue for a stretch and, after two hairpin bends, you can leave your car in the locality called Frastellé. Here you take the mule track, which climbs to the right through patches of vegetation and terraces, up to the houses of Bibioun. From here, in about twenty minutes, you arrive at the village of Ronginé, after which you go along a semi-flat stretch to the Pariassa stream. The path climbs between rocky cliffs (it is advisable never to abandon the path) and a thick deciduous vegetation until reaching the terraced meadows in front of the village of Saroun. The villages of Ronginé and Saroun show interesting architectural features: the former, completely abandoned, is quite large, with beautiful stone houses and ancient inscriptions on the architraves; the latter preserves the most beautiful example of rascard in the whole municipal area.
