Saugues Town Center

Highlight • Settlement

Many pass through Saugues for the beast of Gévaudan but also for the Vernet pastry and its specialties (carré du Gévaudan, Sauguin,...)

All that remains of this medieval castle is this large octagonal keep. In 1575, the looting and destruction of part of the building took place. It represents fairly well the military architecture of the 14th century.

This beautiful gravel trail, which leads to Esplantas and its magnificent castle, is pure bliss. It embodies everything gravel lovers are looking for: beautiful curves, gravelly but stable ground, and an open landscape that offers beautiful perspectives. You'll love it!
