Hiking with a donkey, a mule or a horse
In such steep and mountainous regions as these in Southern Europe, merchandise was transported using mules up until the 19th century.
Inspired by the writings of Albin Mazon, a local figure who wrote “Les Muletiers du Vivarais et du Velay”, four hiking paths have been identified and adapted to help you discover the commercial exchanges that once existed between the high mountain regions and the valley.
Located along a former mule path, the Mas des Faïsses can offer room to house your hiking companions : donkeys, mules or horses.
More information about the mule paths is available at http://surlespasdesmuletiers.jimdo.com/
