Fauna and flora
Embed this item to access it offline
The municipality of Monoblet has contrasting types of scenery: the reliefs are covered in oak and chestnut trees, the valley floors are lively with farming. This is an original path through Cévenol flora.
As elsewhere in the Cévennes, silk farming developed at Monoblet in the early 18th century. It declined here from the mid-19th century onwards, leaving behind many vestiges both built and scenic. This botanical path has 17 stopping places for observation: mulberry tree, Judas tree, chestnut tree, grapevine, prostrate Canary clover, downy oak, blue grass lily, Arabian pea trefoil, olive tree, laurustinus, thyme, holm oak, strawberry tree, mahaleb cherry, wild aspargus, service or serb tree, Kokuzo mulberry tree.

Description

By the cemetery, a there-and-back variant of this walk takes you past Kokuso mulberry trees to the Gréfeuilhe spinnng mill, which is home to the workshops of Les Soieries des Cévennes and Séricyne (not open to the public).
