Departure from Palladuc (Puy-de-Dôme)
For much of this route, it is clear why we are walking through the Bois Noirs, as the light sometimes struggles to penetrate the foliage. In other places, however, tree felling has opened up the view, and the number of logs stacked along the paths is impressive.

Departure from Cherier (Loire)
A five-day itinerary linking the Monts de la Madeleine, the Bois Noirs and the northern Livradois, exploring the Rez de Sol and the Pierre du Sang, with a lodge to stay in and enjoy an evening meal each night. A mid-mountain landscape, predominantly wooded on the Auvergne side and predominantly agricultural on the Forez side, always following small paths that allow you to truly discover this beautiful, little-known region.

Departure from Saint-Just-en-Chevalet (Loire)
Second stage of a 5-day horse-riding route across the Monts de la Madeleine, the Bois Noirs and the northern Livradois. A typical mid-mountain route, featuring open countryside used for livestock farming, deciduous forests, lively villages, and quiet, well-maintained paths. The start involves little elevation gain (La Tuilière plateau), but most of the climb comes towards the end, after crossing into the Allier.

Hike starting from Jaligny secondary school, mostly on farm tracks and paths with around 35% tarmac, passing through the village of Chatelperron where you can see the fortified castle, listed as a Historic Monument: private property, not open to visitors. Beautiful scenery in good weather on the Colombier ridge. Beautiful view of the castle on its rocky outcrop on the descent from La Roche. A small museum of local prehistory and a restaurant are located on the route at Chatelperron station. The return journey is partly along the "Chemin du Tacot", an old railway line.
