Hiking - The Roman Road

Cross the Pont des Pèlerins (Pilgrims' Bridge) in St Chély d'Aubrac for a 2-hour hike that partly follows the old Roman Road!
Starting from the village of St Chély d'Aubrac, a stop on the Way of St. James (Chemin de St Jacques de Compostelle), this 2-hour, partially shaded hike will take you alongside the Boralde de Saint Chély river. You will alternate between sections through the forest, paths lined with dry-stone walls on the old Roman road (Via Agrippa, which connected Toulouse and Bordeaux to Lyon, via the Aubrac plateau!), and viewpoints over the village and the boralde.
