Marker 7The valley landscape unfolds before you, with pride of place given to the fir grove, the jewel of this area. The centenarian grove seduces the walker who is alert to its beauty and unity. The history of the valley continues with forest management that is as concerned with protection and production as ever, but which also increasingly integrates the scenic dimension and welcomes the public – joint preoccupations of the Office National des Forêts and the Cévennes National Park.
