Saint-Jeures – Montfaucon

From Saint-Jeures, the route leads via Tence and through the Lignon Valley to Montfaucon-en-Velay. Forests, meadows and small streams give the path a peaceful character. In Montfaucon, the church preserves a remarkable series of panels by the Flemish painter Abel Grimmer. The stage combines a low mountain landscape with an unexpectedly rich cultural destination.
