Etape 27 Saugues Paulhac en Margeride
En théorie, le 45ᵉ ne passe pas en Lozère, mais difficile de faire autrement. Paulhac en Margeride vaut le détour (à condition de ne pas se faire enfermer dans l'église).
This walk is part of a multi-day hike: Traversée de la France d'Est en Ouest en suivant le 45ème parallèle

Very difficult
Departure from Saugues (Haute-Loire)
During this 18th stage of the Way of St James, you’ll traverse a wild, poetic and challenging landscape as you cross the Margeride and Gévaudan plateaus. You’ll spot rocky outcrops scattered here and there at the whim of chance and time, promising a surprising journey where it’s lovely to reconnect.

Departure from Monistrol-d'Allier (Haute-Loire)
This long circular loop offers two very different atmospheres. The first part is spent in the company of pilgrims on the Way of St James, often in groups, some more talkative than others, passing through hamlets marked by this pilgrimage (crosses, statues). In the second part, you will be alone in the world in the vast expanses of the plateau overlooking the Allier valley.The Visorando app is useful on certain sections.
