Fifteenth stage of the Way of St James. In the heart of the Meygal, Queyrières, a village in the Haute-Loire department, stands beside its basalt rock. From there, you begin the descent towards Le Puy-en-Velay, passing through Saint-Julien-Chapteuil and its mills that once lined the Sumène. A gentle end to the route with a leisurely finish as you arrive in Le Puy-en-Velay, a major pilgrimage site.
From the drystone shelter at Borée to the Croix de Boutière

Departure from Borée (Ardèche)
Thefourth and final stage: whilst the Velay plateau offers gentle terrain and accessible slopes, the Ardèche side of the Mézenc is much more challenging. Erosion has washed away the volcanic scoria that once surrounded the ancient magma chimneys, leaving only hard-to-reach knolls, such as the most famous of these, Mont Gerbier de Jonc. Fortunately, however, there are also paths that allow you to reach the heights in a very pleasant way.

A lovely alternative for climbing Mont Mézenc with this day-long walk. The route passes through ancient villages and stunning landscapes, including the famous Cirque des Boutières. Part of the route is through woodland and is very pleasant.
Do remember to arrange for a car to be waiting at the finish, at the Croix de Peccata.

Second stage of a complete journey along the Chemin de Stevenson between Le-Puy-en-Velay and Alès. It's at Monastier-sur-Gazeille, and thus with this second stage, that Stevenson's real route begins. From this point on, the route follows the GR®70 (Red and White markings). Please note: the markings have been slightly modified from those shown in violet on the IGN map (in particular to avoid a few short stretches of road).

Departure from Tence (Haute-Loire)
Fourteenth stage of the Way of St James. This fairly short stage (due to the gloomy, snowy weather) feels like a long, continuous climb until reaching the hamlet of Raffy, in the forests of Meygal, at an altitude of over 1,290 m, which is the highest point of this route. A short stop in Saint-Jeures, a small village with a beautiful 12th-century Romanesque church, situated a short distance from the Pic du Lizieux (1,388 m), clearly visible from a long way off before reaching the village.
