Le Puy-en-Velay, starting point for the Regordane Way

Le Puy-en-Velay really is the meeting point for a large number of major hiking trails, as well as marking the start of the legendary Way of St Jacques. It attracts hikers from all over the world.

The famous Via Podiensis is taken by large numbers of pilgrims each year. The Regordane Way, too, leads up to the high volcanic plateaus of Le Puy-en-Velay. A journey along the Way of Regordane takes in 3 departments: Haute-Loire, Lozère and Gard – and all three are a paradise for hikers.

In the land of volcanoes, in Gévaudan, between Cévennes and the Mediterranean Sea, the Regordane Way is a thousand-year-old trail for pilgrimage and encounters. You can admire the landscapes, explore the local history and enjoy a wonderful hiking experience.
