This exquisite hiking route, curated by the Office de Tourisme Terres de Berlioz, takes you through a landscape punctuated with serene ponds, offering a journey from the plains to the historic plateau. Along the way, the remnants of Thodure’s milling past whisper tales of a time when grain was the village's lifeblood. The route promises not just a walk but an experience, blending natural beauty with a fascinating glimpse into rural French life.

In summer, early morning starts are recommended to avoid the midday heat. Regardless of the season, sturdy footwear and water are essentials. Winter brings its own charm with crisp air, but also demands caution for potentially slippery paths. Always check weather forecasts before setting out to ensure a safe and enjoyable trek.

The village’s proximity to the Chambaran plateau has influenced its culture and economy across centuries, notably through its now-defunct grain mills. These mills, pivotal until the mid-20th century, highlight Thodure’s role in the local agriculture and economy. Such historical insights add a profound layer of appreciation for the landscape's past, enriching the hiking experience for those who traverse its paths.
