    The striking beauty of the landscape between the Loire and Auvergne, the fresh air of the high altitude, the cuisine of the numerous Auberges in the vicinity, all the hiking and biking options... Everything make a perfect destination in this less known part of France.

                Route has some less passable paths, at 1 point you have to follow a small path over electric fence which does not seem logical but must be kept to. It is a beautiful route, definitely worth it.

                  You can enjoy a nice meal and a drink here. The gauffres aux myrtilles (myrtle-filled cakes) are definitely recommended, as is the tarte aux myrtilles (myrtle tart). Note: closed on Tuesdays and, I think, Mondays as well.
