Walk led by Alain LEVET, "Mercoire d'autrefois, pays de transhumance".
Reputed to be the oldest forest in the Margeride, Mercoire was also a land of pastoralism. With the Languedoc plain just a few days' journey away for flocks of sheep on the Gévaudan draille, sheep farming and the wool industry had a profound impact on the social life of this region for many centuries, before disappearing.

Reservations essential, places limited to 20.
