Barre-des-Cévennes -

Picnic stop on the side of the road, of course, but almost uncrowded. Stream below where the dogs were able to run and drink. Start hiking. It is not a totally isolated place but it is an excellent spot for a stopover on the holiday route (the road to Florac nearby is crowded). The heart of the Cévennes National Park presents a strong preservation challenge, linked to the presence of remarkable animal and plant species. Overnight parking of motorhomes is prohibited.
