L'Aubrac

A place of longing. The best time to travel is until October.

Wonderful place. World Cup, perfect for meditation... Of course, the GR65 hiking trail crosses the park.

A feeling of being in the immensity of a wonderful place.

A return to my pilgrimage sites on the Way of Le Puy-en-Velay. Many emotions, but different ones, because on August 11, 2025, it was 39°C at 2 p.m., whereas during my pilgrimage in September 2023, it was 20°C. I did my best to boost the morale of the pilgrims, both men and women, who were exhausted by the heatwave.

This landscape looks like a 1923 Harrison Ford scene, the Yellowstone prequel, or Montana. Laguiole is also very interesting. Restaurants at the Jeune Fromage cooperative, a forge and cutlery shop... After the aligot, a mashed potato with lots and lots of local cheese. And the Aubrac beef, a unique breed, recognized throughout France for its quality. What else? Mid-mountain cool but sunny if you're lucky. It wasn't so true for us, but we liked it anyway.
