The Chestnut trees : walk around Najac n°6

The Chestnut trees : walk around Najac n°6
Credit : Grands Sites Midi Pyrénées

Description

Nice footpath with varied landscapes. First part on the hills and trip back along the river Aveyron with shade, ideal place when the weather is warm. Several places of interest all along the tour. Start possible from the Holiday Village VAL-VVF.

The Chestnut tree was (with the rye) the basic foods for a long time. It saved a lot of inhabitants from the famine in times of scarcity.
