As soon as you arrive in the village of Les Borels, the trail unveils some of the history of pastoral farming.
The history of the village of Champoléon is closely linked with pastoral farming. In autumn, Les Borels hosts the Tardon (lamb) Festival. The Shepherd’s House invites visitors to interpret pastoral culture and to understand its foundations. The pastoral narrative continues when the ewes are taken up into the mountains from Les Fermons in June to spend the summer on the rich and sunny slopes of the Tourond mountain pastures.
