Departure from Bas-en-Basset (Haute-Loire)
A linear walk along the “Chemin de Ter” between Bas-Monistrol and Aurec-sur-Loire stations, following theGR® de Pays des Gorges de la Loire trail – now reclassified asthe GR® 302 – with a few shortcuts.
The return journey by train, which is very short (11 mins), offers the chance to discover a picturesque stretch of the Loire riverbank, such as around Le Chambon-sur-Loire, which was deliberately avoided on the outward journey.
The author followed this route prior to the publication of the walk guide in issue No. 157 of *Balades Randos*.

Departure from Saint-Didier-en-Velay (Haute-Loire)
This is the story of a 4.7 km route representing the 4.7 billion years of our planet's history. One kilometre corresponds to one billion years and, therefore, one metre (one large step) to one million years. Based on this symbolism, 21 panels have been placed along the route. The location of each panel, and therefore the corresponding period, recounts a major event that changed the course of Earth's evolution. This route, which follows the paths of Saint-Didier-en-Velay, is designed to be fun, historical and original.
