Around one of the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”

Between gorges and valley, this 2-day loop intertwines between the wild rivers of the Allier and the Sénouire.

View of Lavaudieu in Haute-Loire, Auvergne


A hike through villages with remarkable heritage: Romanesque churches in the villages of Vieille-Brioude and Saint-Ilpize with sunny hillsides, Lavaudieu Abbey and its Romanesque cloister nestled in the Sénouire valley.
The second day of the hike takes the GRP Robe de Bure and Cotte de Mailles, the roaming of castles and abbeys!


A weekend hike to disconnect.
