A small Auvergne town with a medieval tower, gites, hotels, and full services. Known locally for the legend of the Beast of Gevaudan, a mysterious creature that terrorised the region in the 18th century.
Saugues is a small town in the Auvergne region, known locally for the legend of the Beast of Gevaudan, a mysterious wolf-like creature that terrorised the surrounding countryside in the 1760s. The Tour des Anglais medieval tower dominates the town.
Pilgrims will find gites, hotels, restaurants, cafes, a supermarket, ATMs, and a pharmacy. Saugues is one of the better-serviced stops in the early stages of Le Chemin du Puy.
The town sits on a high plateau, and the walking through this area crosses remote, sparsely populated countryside. Services become sparser after Saugues as the route heads towards the Aubrac plateau.
