This hiking route, often integrated into the local GR network (notably GR 72), plunges into the wild heart of the Hautes Cévennes (Lozère/Gard), far from the beaten paths. The trail marks a spectacular transition: it leaves the granite high plateaus of La Bastide-Puylaurent to descend into the deep schist valleys characteristic of the Gard. Hikers discover a raw and preserved nature, passing through chestnut forests (the emblematic tree) and ancient terraced fields (faïsses), witnesses to human adaptation. The schist architecture of the isolated hamlets enhances the sense of solitude and character of this region, making it ideal for a complete immersion in the heritage of the Cévennes National Park.
