Valprivas is a small town perched on the top of a hill which rises above 800 meters above sea level. Stronghold in the north of the ancient country of Velay, a 10th century castle guards its entrance. Further south, an orientation table allows you a beautiful overview of the surrounding landscapes, from the Pilat massif, through the Forez, Velay, Cévennes and Gévaudan mountains, to the Puys chain.

Bezan is a pleasant little lake, lined with walking paths which invite you to discover its history. Among other things, a pitch oven is open to the public and allows you to better understand how pitch was used to polish ropes and laces, but also to caulk barrels, boats and houses.

Estivareilles is a pretty little town located on the paths to Compostela as well as on the GR 3. Its town is home to a handful of shops to keep you supplied. For a few dollars, the town hall provided a place to spend the night.
