Le Rocher de la Mule owes its name to a legend from long ago, when the bishops of Saint-Flour and Rodez fought over the boundaries of their dioceses. They decided to set off from their cathedrals at a specific date and time, heading towards each other. The place where they met would be the frontier they were looking for. One on the back of a mule, the other on the back of a pig, their adventures were many, and they finally met up at the rock. The mule had run very fast for a very long time, her shoes were very hot, and when she stopped and put down her hooves, they left their marks and the rock became known as "Le Rocher de la Mule". If you look hard enough, you can still picture them...
Start sign located in the parking lot in front of the Auberge de Raulhac.
Follow the D990 towards Pierrefort. The path passes behind the cemetery and joins the road. Cross the road to take the gravel track opposite. This wide track along the edge of the meadow becomes a narrower path which then climbs back up to the D990.
Opposite, take the undergrowth path that leads to the Rocher de la Mule (200m out-and-back trip to discover the legendary Rocher de la Mule - QR code to be flashed to find out about the history of the rock).
Take the wide track back up to the viewpoint over Raulhac and the Monts du Cantal (landscape interpretation panel).
Leave the viewpoint and take the narrower path to the right. The route alternates between a forest-edge path and a wider track between meadows to reach the Rocher de Las Clauzades viewpoint.
The route continues below and around the Rocher de Las Clausades to reach the hamlet of the same name. Continue along the road until you find an undergrowth path on the left that leads back to Raulhac.
