Aubrac

The Aubrac plateau

The Aubrac straddles the departments of the Lozère, Cantal and the Aveyron.

A basaltic plateau (average altitude 1,300 metres), the Aubrac is named after Alto Braco, which means high place.

The climate is harsh here, the landscape grandiose, and the light slightest breeze makes the wild grass dance in the sunlight.
This region marks the harmony between man and nature. Here man is but a little thing; the image of the sailor and the ocean, he lives at the mercy of time and seasons ...
Made famous by the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela who crossed the Aubrac, it was also known for its fabulous scenery as well as the many brigands who roamed the lands.
