From Montchanson, with a rucksack on your back – in place of the schoolbag that children of yesteryear used to carry on their backs to get to school in one of the villages of the Arcomie Valley – let’s follow in their footsteps to discover the hamlets and local heritage. On the way, don’t forget to climb up to the Trois Croix du Bloc du Recoux for an exceptional view, before trying your hand at making the Pierre Branlante de la Roche wobble, north of Saint-Marc.

This is the first of three stages of the Saint-Flour Planèze tour. It is the longest stage, passing through several small villages typical of the Planèze with their bread ovens, which provide welcome shelter for a short break in rainy weather. The very quiet paths and small roads run alongside meadows grazed by numerous herds of cattle in season.
