FÊTE DE LA TRANSHUMANCE
Go there and contact
Leaving the valleys and plains in late spring, the sheep move from the valleys and plains to the highland grazing areas until mid-October. In the middle of June, their passage to Esperu, on the slopes of Mount Aigoual, is celebrated by the festival of Transhumance with parades of "pompomed" herds, demonstrations of know-how, shearing, work of the herd dogs, and shepherds' meals...
Mount Aigoual in the Cévennes, along with Mount Lozère, is one of the last places where summer transhumance is practised in the traditional way using drailles, the ancestral paths used by shepherds and their flocks to reach the summer pastures. An event to be experienced as a family
