Departure from Bréau-et-Salagosse (Gard)
We follow the drovers' road linking Languedoc to Aubrac, still used today by sheep to reach the summer pastures of the Aigoual. We begin by descending into the villages and hamlets of the Arre Valley. The silk industry has left its mark here: old spinning mills and watermills. After a pleasant stroll along the Arre, where trout abound, the going gets tough with the climb up to the Causse de Blandas. Once at the top, there is a radical change of scenery.
