シャステルのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Historical wealth - Magnificent landscapes - Slightly difficult hike, good physical condition required.

Mont Mouchet is a peak that is part of the Margeride massif. There, you'll find very rocky areas and other more wooded areas, composed of beech and fir forests. As a result, the landscapes are fabulous. Mont Mouchet is also a site classified as a High Place of the Resistance in Auvergne. From here, you can enjoy a superb 360° panorama.

The Mont Mouchet Museum and Memorial pay tribute to Lucien and Pierrot, who, in 1944, joined one of France's five maquis. They committed to preventing the German army stationed to the south from advancing toward Normandy. Through a tour of authentic objects, documents, photos, and videos, you will discover the historical events that brought Mont Mouchet to life.

Very nice hike, I recommend starting in the opposite direction in order to finish by going down the scree rather than going up... otherwise the hike is mainly on shaded paths...

Beautiful panorama

The small village of Ally, perched at an altitude of 1000 meters, gives its name to the charming but little-known Ally plateau, dotted with old mills.

Mont Mouchet, like many other isolated and wild places in France (whether for example the Vercors plateau or the Albion plateau) served as a maquis for resistance fighters during the Second World War. It culminates at 1,497 meters in the Margeride massif. It offers very beautiful views of the unspoiled landscape that surrounds it. It borders three very sparsely populated departments of France: Haute-Loire, Cantal and Lozère.

Mont Mouchet, at 1,497 meters in the heart of Margeride, is a high place of the Resistance during the 2nd World War. It was notably the scene in June 1944 of the Battle of Mont Mouchet. A memorial and a museum pay homage to the Resistance fighters of this maquis.
