Hiking - Puylaurent Dam

A small open plateau combined with a forest crossing, with Saint-Laurent Church as the highlight — a precious and very well-preserved testimony of Romanesque art.<br/> Along the route, signposts guide you. The place names and/or directions to follow are indicated in "<em><strong>bold italic within quotation marks</strong></em>" in the description below:<br/><br/> From « <em><strong>PUYLAURENT</strong></em> », go up the road just above the village for a few meters, then turn right onto the path, direction « <em><strong>Valat de l'Entillat</strong></em> ». At « <em><strong>Valat de l'Entillat</strong></em> », take a sharp right onto the woodland path. When you reach the road, turn left and follow it towards the bridge. Take the path that climbs opposite the road at the sign « <em><strong>Bois de Puylaurent</strong></em> ». Continue climbing until the viewpoint, then return to « <em><strong>PUYLAURENT</strong></em> ».<br/><br/> Walk extracted from the map-guide <strong>Mont Lozère – Land of Springs, From Margeride to Lake Villefort in the Cévennes</strong>, developed by the Mont Lozère outdoor activity center.<br/> Adapt your equipment to the day’s weather conditions. Remember that the weather can change quickly in the mountains. Be sure to bring enough water, sturdy shoes, and a hat.
