HistoryThe Régordane Way
The Régordane Way, a transport and pilgrims’ route as early as the 12th century, linked Le Puy-en-Velay with Saint-Gilles. It runs alongside many villages with characteristic architecture (Romanesque churches, the arrangement of the houses, the door and window frames, etc.).
Note the Reboulet cross on the façade of the last-but-one house on the left before the second fountain.
- History
Forestry
The path has two small brook crossings. You walk along a tall wall that is over 250 m long. This curved structure is a reminder of the days before 1914, when tannin factories exploited the forest on the slopes of Rabuzats. The prepared wood was transported to this place, which was called “the station”. The many constructions around the Bois de Longues Feuilles brook evoke the temporary dwellings and working conditions of labourers at the time. (Text by Francis Tillault, from the collection of walks Autour du Parc 10).

FaunaMany species...
This prospering and diverse forest boasts many ground animal species, such as large mammals, especially deer. Its trees play host to numerous birds, including diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey: buzzards, sparrowhawks and owls. Woodpeckers and passerine birds live on the edge of the forest. Some species are uncommon and even threatened, such as the Eurasian goshawk.
