You could think of yourself as an explorer by traversing this riverbed which quickly metamorphoses into a small canyon. As you move forward, you can see the entrance to the Crouzade cave on the right, leaning against the side of the cliffs. You arrive at the Auzils car park, take a little road to the left to then reach the Castéra plateau.
After heavy rainfall, the creek bed may be flooded and therefore impassable.
