A gentle walk across the Margeride countryside between the granite highlands and the Aubrac plateau. The terrain is easy and the pace can be relaxed.
Watch for the granite crosses and oratories that mark the route through the farming villages. The stone-built villages here have changed little in centuries, with cattle still housed on the ground floor of the farmhouses during winter.
Aumont-Aubrac is a small town at the gateway to the Aubrac plateau. The town's name hints at what lies ahead: one of the most distinctive and demanding landscapes on the Le Puy route.
Terrain: Flat to gently rolling rural roads, agricultural paths, village streets
A tiny hamlet between Saugues and Saint-Alban-sur-Limagnole with a welcoming gite d'etape in a beautiful rural setting. Essentially just the gite and a few farmhouses in the Margeride landscape.
A small market town on the edge of the Aubrac plateau with gites, hotels, and services. The gateway to the wild, windswept Aubrac, one of the most memorable stretches of Le Chemin du Puy.
