Mont Mouchet is a peak that is part of the Margeride massif. There, you'll find very rocky areas and other more wooded areas, composed of beech and fir forests. As a result, the landscapes are fabulous. Mont Mouchet is also a site classified as a High Place of the Resistance in Auvergne. From here, you can enjoy a superb 360° panorama.

The Mont Mouchet Museum and Memorial pay tribute to Lucien and Pierrot, who, in 1944, joined one of France's five maquis. They committed to preventing the German army stationed to the south from advancing toward Normandy. Through a tour of authentic objects, documents, photos, and videos, you will discover the historical events that brought Mont Mouchet to life.

Very nice hike, I recommend starting in the opposite direction in order to finish by going down the scree rather than going up... otherwise the hike is mainly on shaded paths...

A charming village boasting beautiful architecture and remarkable buildings. Some establishments offer a relaxing and pleasing setting for a refreshing drink on a terrace during an outing. The Allier River, which gives its name to the village, is a must-see.
