Departure from Le Brugeron (Puy-de-Dôme)
A pleasant walk in summer thanks to the cool, refreshing air. The stream is well-known to anglers, and the lucky few may even find some chanterelle mushrooms to pick. This is the realm of wild boar and roe deer…You’ll pass through old villages such as La Terrasse (with a very old house on the right), which was very important in the early 20th century. A victim of rural depopulation, Montolas is now nothing but ruins!
