Departure from Communay (Rhône)
Did you know that there are traces of mining activity in Communay (south of Lyon)?
To discover them, follow this easy path. This hike can be done in two stages:
1) around the Sauveur, Baytan, Guérin and Dufélix pits;
2°) around the Espérance shaft headframe (rebuilt by associations linked to the mine) and a small slag heap, now wooded.

Departure from Lalouvesc (Ardèche)
Lalouvesc (at an altitude of 1,100 metres) is the meeting point of theGR® 420 and 430 trails. Lalouvesc has manyPR® (white and yellow) trails. This hike takes you along theGR® 420 and 430 and PR® trails. It skirts around the Chaix and Besset mountains. It stays at a high altitude, as none of the trails described here descend into the valley. Lalouvesc is also a remarkable site from which, on a clear day, you can see the Alps.
