Tour of Robe de Bure and Cotte de Mailles (Haute-Loire)

The name of the trail refers to the two types of clothing worn by monks and knights in the Middle Ages. The robe de bure was a simple and humble garment worn by monks. The cotte de mailles was a suit of armor made of small iron rings, worn by knights. The trail passes through a variety of landscapes, from the gorges of the Allier to the mountains of Forez. It passes through medieval villages, castles, churches, and monasteries.
