Lozère Outdoor - Parcours - La Roque Magnanerie (silkworm farm)

Route opened

Forget wilderness: here, meadows, tracks and old trees all bear witness in their own way to the human presence of times gone by, namely those who lived and worked at the La Roque silkworm farm and shaped the valley. Each stage of the walk, whether in the open or shade, reveals a facet of the universe of insects and small mammals.

Keep your eyes open! Beneath its ordinary appearance, this trail offers a new perspective on an unexpected biodiversity.

After going alongside the road for a few metres, the trail heads down to a small field and continues among the chestnut trees. Joining a larger track, it leads to the silkworm farm building and goes around it. The path continues alongside a field lined by mulberry trees before going uphill into the chestnut grove to rejoin the track. To return to the parking area, retrace your steps.
