A lovely, family-friendly and educational walk along well-marked, easy paths. Over a short distance, you can enjoy a wide variety of landscapes: deciduous and coniferous woodland, peat bogs, rocky outcrops, heathland and views out across the plain. Boardwalks allow you to venture deep into the peat bog. Information boards explain the history and biology of the peat bogs and forests, etc. Beautiful trees: the scents of broom, the forest and the heathland… A lovely walk for everyone.

Twentieth stage of the Camino de Santiago. For this stage, leave the Margeride for the Aubrac. You’ll realise you’re in the Aubrac when the trees disappear – and it’s absolutely stunning! The colours, the landscapes, the cows, the silence, the sky, the rocks. You’ll feel tiny in the face of nature’s immensity.
