This is a walk we have done once before and is a fairly flat circular route visiting the villages of Fontannes – Frugerolles – Billanges – Buze – Fontannes. The highlight of the walk was the profusion of wild flowers on the verges.
- toadsflax
- ragged robin
- wild chicory
- white campion
- ragwort
- queen anne’s lace
- plantain
- yellow gentian
- convolvulus
- mallow
We also had a brief encounter with an inquisitive lizard!
The route gives you distant views of both Brioude and the Puys.
Other interesting features were this old cross outside Billanges, and the Maison Rouge at Buze.
A lovely walk in warm though not hot conditions, on good paths throughout.
Reblogged this on la petite maison bijoux and commented:
Some photos from a walk that we did last week, via the 750 metres blog.
Sounds a lovely walk. We have just had a few days near Agen and we got some walks from the Office de Tourisme which were a great help as we do not know the region well. Amelia
Interesting for us, as frequent walkers in Cantal and as near to Brioude as Massiac to see the mountains from a different perspective.
