Eglise Saint-Privat - © Nathalie Thomas 
HistorySaint-Privat’s church
Mentioned for the first time in 1258, Saint-Privat’s church seems to have been built between the 12th and the early 13th century. It was damaged during the French Wars of Religion, like many churches in the Gévaudan. Despite the many overhauls, its architecture is neat.
Description
Signposts will guide you all along this route: follow the waymarks for trail #8.
Cross the village’s main road, the municipal campsite and a recent housing estate, then take a pleasant path on the bank of the Lot river. The path leads you to the pretty village of Chadenet, via Le Crouzet, on the GR®43. This flat section is ideal for making a gentle start.
At Chadenet, you embark on a track that climbs gradually for two kilometres before levelling out in the forest: perfect for lengthening your stride!
At Allenc, you start climbing again to reach Le Mourre d'Allenc, altitude 1,198 m.
Then, all that is left is to head downhill on a large track through fields and forest.
