Massif Central GRs: volcanoes, Stevenson, Way of St James

Volcanoes, the high plateaus of the Aubrac and the Margeride, gorges and the Cévennes: the Massif Central offers mid-altitude mountain hiking, accessible for much of the year outside winter.

It is also the starting point of several major routes, including the Via Podiensis at Le Puy-en-Velay and the Stevenson Trail. The GR4 and the GR6 cross it from east to west, and the GR68 goes around Mont Lozère.

In the Cévennes, the GR66 goes around Mont Aigoual, the Régordane Way (GR700) runs down from Le Puy-en-Velay to Saint-Gilles and the GR736 follows the Tarn from Villefort to Albi. Further west, the GR46 crosses the Creuse, the Corrèze and the Quercy between Tours and Toulouse.
