Route opened
Sheltered from the predominant winds, you walk on a draille (drovers’ road) through the very heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site. Limestone crosses adorned with the benefactor’s name dot the route like votive offerings.
An outdoor exploration of traditional architecture and panoramic views over the Causse de Sauveterre and the mountains of the Aubrac.
