Sublime view over the valley

What a relief at 30?°C

Medieval atmosphere in the tunnels

A beautiful view of the Loire Valley from the Velay greenway.

Coubon is a small Loire village full of character located in Velay. Behind the bustling city center rich in shops and services, the Saint-Georges church has a magnificent facade of Romanesque architecture.

From the parking lot of the Coubon train station, a little warm-up by going down the greenway to Brives Charensac where there is a small crossing of the Loire then join the road to get back to the transcévenole. There, the path is a natural path if I may say so where you will find stones but not smooth ground as you can find on the greenways. There are about 4 and a half km of this stone path. Then after going through a tunnel towards Lantriac, the path is much more passable. After there is a fork on the right, we cross a road and take a small path for 150 to 200 m which can be cluttered with vegetation, but it is passable. After a climb, we come to a path where there are stones. The climb can be difficult if you do not have electric assistance, or a low level of fitness. Then we join a road for 150 to 200 m before turning left and enjoying a phenomenal panorama. Then a descent where you have to take your time, a crossing of a very pleasant little village and a very smooth path but in which there can be difficulties on the ground. After we join a charming little road before making a small climb to join a small path for a few hundred meters around Arsac. Then the descent on Coubon, and the climb to join the departure car park. Be careful the climb is steep at times.

The round of the angel is a pretty meander of the Loire in the shape of a horseshoe.
