Bozas walks

The Randocroquis de Bozas is much more than just a hike: it's a unique experience that combines walking, observation and artistic expression. Throughout this trail, which is accessible to all, you will be invited to stop at nine stations along the way. Each of these stops offers simple, educational tips on how to draw by observing the landscape, vegetation and local architecture. No need to be an experienced artist: the aim is to look at things differently, immerse yourself in nature and take the time to sketch what you see. Fun and educational, this walk will delight young and old alike, whether with family, friends or on your own, for an original discovery of the Bozas area.

A beautiful hike through the forests above Boucieu-le-Roi in northern Ardèche. What's more, this charming village is a stop on the Ardèche train (Mastrou) and/or rail bike route. A visit to the village is therefore recommended. This hike can be shortened, as it consists of two circular loops that return to the village.

This charming loop, starting from Saint-Félicien, takes you on a journey of discovery through authentic landscapes and a charming rural heritage. Following quiet paths, you will first plunge into the Vivance valley, a green setting where the river winds peacefully between meadows and undergrowth. This shady, refreshing passageway offers a moment of true serenity in the heart of nature. Continuing on your way, you will reach the picturesque village of Vaudevant. Nestled in the hills of the Ardèche, this small village charms visitors with its character, old stones, narrow streets and authentic atmosphere. The return to Saint-Félicien is gentle, with the rolling hills of the Haut-Vivarais as a backdrop. An accessible walk, both bucolic and cultural, ideal for getting some fresh air while discovering a preserved local heritage.

The time indicated can be shortened depending on your pace.
