Be careful, the path is densely overgrown!

Nice village for overnight stay or lunch

As you skirt the Naussac reservoir, you will discover the Cascade du Donozau. This waterfall, which cascades down a small rock face, creates a picturesque scene ideal for a peaceful picnic. The surrounding area offers a variety of hiking trails that will allow you to explore the diverse landscapes of the region.

This charming rural town located in the heart of Margeride offers an ideal setting for cycling. Its cafes and restaurants allow you to stop there in the middle or end of your outing.

The setting here is enchanting with beautiful round hills punctuated by meadows and forests with, further on, the Langouyrou, a pretty stream.

In the village of Luc, the Romanesque church surprises me. It's open and it takes a little getting used to the little light that comes through the small windows. This is typical of these old Romanesque vaults. But it is surprising that this church has two floors. A wide gallery not only in the rear area but also left and right up to the chancel! It must have been planned that way from the start because the windows are also arranged on two levels.

In 1978, a few friends founded an association to safeguard and enhance the Château de Luc. Its purpose is to preserve and restore these vestiges, but also to deepen their history and make it known to the public. The work carried out jointly, association and successive municipal teams allowed the restoration of the keep in 1994 with the installation of orientation tables, then that of the main building in 2008 thus allowing the organization of animations at the Castle. THE MUNICIPALITY OF LUC AND THE ASSOCIATION OF FRIENDS OF THE CHÂTEAU DE LUC INVITE VISITORS TO RESPECT THESE PLACES THAT WILL SEE OUR HISTORY.

Around 1380, during the Hundred Years War, a large troop of Englishmen and road warriors tried to seize it, but in vain. During the Wars of Religion, a garrison on foot and on horseback was installed in this fortress to defend the region. Luc's castle seems to have been dismantled around 1630, on the order of Richelieu. In 1878, a statue of Notre Dame de Luc was erected on the keep. A few months later, Robert Louis Stevenson, on his trip to the Cévennes, passed in front of the castle and stopped at Luc. The Revolution, the abolition of feudal rights, the harsh climate, the challenge of time had greatly degraded it.
