Saint-Chély-d'Apcher and its surrounding area are a must-see. You can come and stroll along the ramparts and through the ancient streets of the historic center, and admire the statues of the Beast of Gévaudan. Foodies can stock up on local products in the many small shops.

The existence of this fortified castle is mentioned as early as the 12th century. It is believed to have been built on an even older fortress. In 1764, the Château de Saint-Alban was requisitioned as headquarters to organize raids aimed at eliminating the Beast of Gévaudan.

This superb forest trail is a pure delight: whether you want to pick up a bit of speed, really ride, or simply enjoy the scenery, you'll be delighted! The trail is wide and alternates between small gravel on hard ground, like a strada biancha, and softer, earthy ground.

Super nice trail for mountain biking or electric mountain biking. Be careful, the path on the chapel side is very rocky. It's technical on the uphill side.
