Les Bondons walks

Menhirs are found in Brittany. The proof: the name itself is of Breton origin (maen hir = long stone). And even more so when they are made of granite. But if I told you that one of Europe's main megalithic sites is in Lozère, would you believe me? The standing stones along this route at the foot of Mont Lozère are like those scattered by Tom Thumb: just follow them to find your way.

A very short hike to admire a magnificent waterfall that flows all year round.

Located at the crossroads of the Grands Causses, Mont Lozère and the Cévennes valleys, the Ispagnac valley boasts a wide variety of geological features. Limestone, granite and schist blend together, creating diverse landscapes shaped by the nature of the subsoil. This trail, which runs along the foot of the Causse Méjean, offers you a walk through a schistose terroir.

Tenth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage may involve significant changes to the GR®70 signposting. This stage essentially follows the Mimente valley before it flows into the Tarnon at Florac.

Walk up the Bramont Gorges and explore a magnificent and picturesque area with its steep cliffs and turbulent river. This unusual landscape offers a pleasant cool spot in summer. Pass through the small village of drystone shelter, with its typical Causse houses, located in the foothills of the Mont Lozère massif.

An easy hike in the mineral world of the Causse Méjean: a plateau marked by both austerity and gentle tranquillity. You will stroll through a landscape full of curves, between hills and sinkholes at the bottom of which you will discover a lavogne (a small, circular depression in the ground) or a small cultivated field: one of the characteristic landscapes of the UNESCO-listed sites. (Route information provided by the Gorges du Tarn, Causses & Cévennes tourist office).

Mont Lozère rises to 1,699 metres, making it the highest point in the Cévennes. However, its geological nature sets it apart from the rest of the massif. This imposing granite wall closes off the schist valleys of the Cévennes and heralds the high plateaus of southern Auvergne. It also offers magnificent views of all the peaks of the southern Massif Central, as far as Mont Ventoux. Best explored in good weather.

Ninth stage of a complete journey on the Chemin de Stevenson between Le Puy-en-Velay and Alès. This stage features significant changes to the GR®70 signposting, taking an alternative route to the GR®70 for much of the way.

This is an easy hike that allows you to discover the different landscapes of Lozère, the Béal de Felgerolles, the Tarn and a few picturesque hamlets typical of Mont Lozère. It also offers beautiful views of the Cévennes landscape. The wooded sections make it particularly pleasant in hot weather.
