Camping Les Eaux Vives in Saint-bonnet-de-montauroux

Beautiful panoramas that deserve to be admired at length. Cross the village square, keeping to the left of the trailhead sign so that the war memorial and fountain are behind you. Take the right-hand street at the fork and head towards the fountain opposite, against a wall. At the fountain, turn right between the houses, then right again at the next intersection. The route descends; continue straight ahead until you reach a fork. Turn left and follow the path between hedges or stone walls to reach the village of Freissenet. At the intersection, turn left, then immediately right. Turn left again, go behind the buildings, and follow the path as it climbs gently until you reach the road. Turn right, then right again for a few meters, continuing along the D32. Cross the departmental road just before a stone cross. Take the path opposite, which leads towards the houses and cuts across the switchbacks of the D325, and descend to the church square in Saint-Vénérand. Continue along the road and at the next intersection near the farms, take the left-hand path. Enter the beech forest and walk through it. At the end of the walk (there is a risk of flooding in wet weather), you will reach the edge of the hamlet of Ménial. Take the road to the right and, 100 meters further on, turn right again onto a farm track; follow it straight ahead for about 1 km until you reach a sharp right turn. Take the path to the right and then immediately to the left (if there is an electric fence, return to the previous intersection by going straight ahead to the road and then turn right to reach the houses). At the houses, leave the road and take the path to the right. Cross the D32 (caution) at the place called La Pierre Plantée and continue straight ahead until you reach the D 59 road; take it on the left (caution) to return to the starting point.

Overlooking Lake Naussac From the parking lot in the church square, take the road with the church on your right. At the first intersection, turn left, then follow the path marked by a cross. Turn right onto the wide farm track. About 200 meters further on, ignore a path branching off to the left; continue straight ahead. Follow this path for about 2 km; it winds between meadows and groves, then enters the Rouget woods. Reach an intersection. Turn right onto the uphill path and, about 500 meters further on, you will emerge onto a track. Take the track to the right, heading northwest. Ignore the paths on either side of the track. Continue to return to the village of Fontanes via the path on the right.

Beautiful views of the Haute-Loire hills Join the main crossroads in the center of the village of Saint-Symphorien. Turn right, then, a few meters further on, take the gravel path on the left leading to the orientation table. Return to the junction and turn left onto the paved road. Walk alongside the houses of the hamlet of Pissepeau, continuing straight ahead on the road to reach the entrance of the hamlet of La Vialatte. At the crossroads, cross the road, leave the village on your right, and follow the path opposite, continuing straight ahead to the hamlet of Donaldès. Go straight ahead and cross the hamlet. Turn right onto the path that climbs uphill, keeping the various intersections on your left, and continue straight ahead to reach a crossroads. Turn right to reach the hamlet of Beysserettes; cross through it. Take the left-hand path, which continues as a track (pay attention to the trail markers). Take the track that winds its way into the woods. At the next junction, turn right and continue to the following intersection. Turn right again and enter the forest; follow the grassy path that runs along the edge of a field bordered by a low wall and a hedge of trees on its right. You will cross through large woods, continuing straight ahead between barbed wire fences and stone walls. At the edge of the woods, turn right, walk alongside farmland on your left, and pass near the Mas Chambaud farm. At the next junction, take the left-hand path. You will see the steeple of the church of Saint-Symphorien and, further on, the Margeride mountain range (Col de la Baraque des Bouviers, 1,400 m, to the west) on the horizon. Return to the starting point by road.

Overlooking the Allier gorges With your back to the starting sign in the parking lot, take the farm track on the right that descends through the pastures. After about 500 meters, you'll reach a fork in the path. Turn left. The path quickly enters the Côte-Brune woods. Continue downhill, ignoring all paths on either side, and keep going straight ahead (along the way, you'll find a chain and a sign indicating that you are entering private property; this is a courtesy of the landowner. Please observe the rules of good conduct). You'll pass over a railway tunnel and emerge onto a path coming from the right side of the Allier River (you can take this unmarked route to approach the banks of the Allier for about 500 meters). Follow the path to the left, which climbs back up into the Bois de la Maille forest. Descend to the right onto a forest track, which 500 meters further on leads to a track; follow this track. It remains parallel to the Allier River and the railway line, then climbs again. Pass the hamlet of "Les Taillades" and continue along the path. Reach a fork in the road. Take the left-hand path, which leads back to Pomeyrols. Go around the wash house to the right, and at the crossroads in the village, turn right and return to the starting point.

Enter the Mercoire forest, a land of legend... From the parking area, take the forest track parallel to the N88. After a straight section, the track turns left, leading away from the road. Along the way, you'll find information panels describing the natural treasures of the forest. Take a path through the undergrowth to the right, which provides a short out-and-back detour to the Fairy Rock. Then, rejoin the main track to the right. On either side, you'll see granite boulders, and, to the right of the track, a menhir. You'll emerge onto a perpendicular track. Turn left until you reach a fork in the path, and then left again at the point where the paths diverge. Continue straight ahead on the wide track; the exploration of the forest's natural wonders continues. At the end, you'll return to the starting point.

The Roof of the World The starting point is the path to the left of the road coming from Le Cheylard l'Évêque. It enters the forest for approximately 350 meters to reach a fork in the path. Continue straight ahead on the right-hand path to reach a junction with a perpendicular track (junction with the GR7 trail).Turn left onto the uphill track. Approximately 300 meters further on, you will reach another fork; stay on the track and continue straight ahead to the next junction (junction with the GR7 trail).Turn sharply left onto the track. Bear right to reach a crossroads (where the GR7 trail diverges and the GR470 trail joins it, leading to the source and gorges of the Allier River: a 3 km round trip). At the junction, turn right, pass the summit (1503m), and reach the Moure de la Gardille viewpoint. Retrace your steps to the crossroads at point 6 and this time, go straight ahead. Continue straight ahead, ignoring any paths you encounter, to return to the starting point.

Loubaresse church, built in 1845, boasts a magnificent crenellated bell tower, the remains of an ancient tower that stood behind the village.

Along the D4 linking Lablachère to Montselgues, admire the magnificent 180° panorama. Marking the south-eastern extremity of the vast Cévennes massif, the Vivarais Cévenol corniche is a long ridge stretching north from the Prataubérat massif towards the foothills of the southern Ardèche to the south-east, overlooking the deep valleys of the Drobie to the east and the Thines and Chassezac to the south.

The Tanargue massif, which culminates at almost 5,000 feet, overlooks the entire Pays Beaume-Drobie. This vast crest of granite which stands out in the landscape takes the name ‘Tanargue’ from the protohistoric era. “Taranis”, the Celtic god of the sky and thunder appeared in all his violence on “Arga”, the mountain, hence the name Tanargue, the ‘Thunder Mountain’.

Marker 10From this high point (above which short-toed snake eagles are often seen), the site of Le Tournel on the rocky spur dominating the Lot Valley, showcases all its strategic power. The surrounding landscape was slowly shaped by human activity, the dispersed settlements favouring the human hold over nature. Mont Lozère’s denuded rounded tops are maintained by the flocks of transhumant sheep that graze here. Crops take up the fertile dips near villages, where farming can be mechanised.

Scots Pines, which have replaced oaks on limestone soils and beech on siliceous soils, cover vast areas. With birches, they are the first to invade abandoned farm land. As a result of agricultural decline, vast heaths of broom – which can live on poor soils – have formed. They are periodically subjected to controlled burns by farmers. This landscape evolves over time, and according to natural and human factors.

Marker 9A few plant species are well-represented near the ruins, such as hoary plantain and mugwort. Among the plants that colonise the almost soil-less stone walls or rock faces are stonecrops (several species, notable for their succulent leaves); saxifrages (three species), which brighten up the rocky outcrops in spring with their white flowers; and navelwort. Trailing snapdragon with its yellow flowers streaked in pink exists almost exclusively in the Cévennes. On top of the tower wall, you will notice two rows of schist stones with rounded lower edges, an exceptional architectural detail. They probably date from the 12th century.

Marker 8The keep and redoubt are defensive elements. Through their massive appearance and their position, they asserted the lords' prestige and power. In the 13th century, the keep was redesigned to have a narrow winding entrance passage and a curtain wall on its west side. The first two floors were each occupied by a rectangular room with a vaulted ceiling and arrow-slit openings. Access from one level to the next was through a  manhole. On the second floor, a wall still carries the imprint of the fireplace that once took up the whole back wall. A  turret built onto the keep contained a spiral staircase that gave access to the third floor.
