Sports and leisure activities Sagnes-Et-Goudoulet

Crossed by the GR 73 in the direction of Gerbier-de-Rush, the village of Sagnes-et-Goudoulet can serve as a final step before admiring the springs of the Loire. After taking some information from the village's inhabitants, you will be set up on a bottle or will leave through the «sagnes» to meet a country of full nature. Just a word to tell you about the Padelle - small river - and the small stone bridge for trout fishing.

Hiking route from the church of ten kilometers. Overlooking the village of Sagnes, this is one of the most beautiful juices in the Ardéchoise Mountains: the Juice or Les Coux. It is indeed characterized by the existence on its top of a kind of terrace, a little like if the volcanism had had the idea of putting a plateau on the Plateau! This particular site, which dominates the vast expanse of "Sagnes", i. e. bogs, has given rise to a series of legends. One of them speaks of an old man carrying a lauze over his head and disappearing in the fog… In any case, once mounted on the terrace, you can see the "Head of the Devil", large stone slab with mysterious origin and the Cloche rock which, when you find it, rings when you hit it.

While the Ardèche is full of climbing sites in a variety of environments, few are as demanding as Coux, between Sainte-Eulalie and Sagnes-et-Goudoulet. Its 23 20-metre routes have been carved out of phonolite, a volcanic stone found only in the Ardèche, and used by the mountain's inhabitants to build their roofs. For beginners, the tourist office can provide you with the names of professionals who can accompany you. Don't hesitate to drop in and see them, as this is not a discipline that can be improvised.
