Trailence

Hiking - The Drovers' Trail

A small path that takes you up to the heights above Chirac, crossing several valleys.
This 'draille' (Occitan for 'transhumance path') was used by flocks making their way from the plains of Languedoc up to the Aubrac plateau until the mid-20th century. This loop offers superb views over Chirac and the surrounding 'Trucs' (Occitan for 'summits').
