Hiking - To the Coal! (shorter route 2)
This rural itinerary starts from an old mining "city".
During the 115 years of its operation, the Maussac coal seam allowed the village of Lapleau to experience unique economic growth. This trail allows you to compare the traditional architecture of the agricultural world with the mining and administrative structures associated with this "boom"; and to imagine the changing pattern of housing in a mining town.
The commune includes several villages. The hike sets off from Maussac-Gare. This hike has a longer route (16 km - marked trail 3, for which there is an information sheet) and a family-friendly loop (7 km - marked trail 1).
