サンテティエンヌドフルサックのおすすめツーリングルート

The Porte Saint-Jean is one of the old city gates of La Souterraine. What you see now is modest, but in the Middle Ages it was a serious entrance to the walled city. Why it's nice: This was literally the city's checkpoint. Anyone who wanted to enter was examined here. The name probably refers to a nearby chapel or hospital of Saint-Jean. You're essentially walking through a 13th-14th-century section here, without it being ostentatious. What many people miss: La Souterraine was an important stop on a side route of the pilgrimage route to Santiago. It's likely that pilgrims, traders, and soldiers passed through here centuries ago.

In a word: beautiful. A breathtaking setting with stunning hiking trails, the ruins, the river, the rocks, and enchanting trails. One of the most beautiful hikes I've ever taken.

Pretty flowered bridge with geraniums crossing the Thaurion, a river with copper-brown water.

A menhir along the road

Beautiful Dolmen and possible bivouac area
