Description: The Bisse du Ricard draws its water from the Navisence gorges and flows down to the Rèche. It offers a magnificent walk above the Rhône plain. The signs explain how the bisses work, what they are used for, their links with agriculture, fauna and flora, and a little history. The trail can be walked in either direction, starting from Chalais, Arche des Crétillons or Réchy.

The trail is part of the De Chalais aux Chalets educational trail concept. A 7km loop allows you to take 3 of the educational trails in succession to return to the starting point: via the Farm, via Chalais and via Réchy. The fun aspect of the trail is enhanced by a short barefoot section and questions for children about water, fauna, flora and the mountains (> 10 years).
Directions: Start at the old coal mine and walk along the bisse to the Arche des Crétillons.
