Hiking - Valescure

This is one of the least frequented of all the Cévennes valleys! Among the most preserved, it invites discovery, contemplation, and rejuvenation… Learn to blend into its tranquility.
A route through a small peaceful valley, seemingly wild at first glance, but everywhere marked by human activity. Explore an old living site, with built heritage crafted stone by stone. Around the ruins of La Faysolle, numerous dry-stone walls testify to the active life of the hamlet, where several families lived. The oven, the clède, and the spring allowed them to live autonomously. From the top of the ridges, perspectives open onto the surrounding mountain landscapes.
Before starting this route, ensure it is suitable for your activity and level - steep sections after the ruins of La Faysolle, route reserved for experienced hikers. Remember that weather changes quickly in the mountains. Bring enough water. Close gates and fences securely. Warning: in heavy rain, it is preferable not to take this route.
