Vacations<\/strong> in Aubrac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re staying at our campsite near Aubrac<\/a> at the end of May, don’t miss the Transhumance Festival<\/strong>, which takes place over several days. In the hamlet of Aubrac itself, 80 km from Les Gen\u00eats campsite<\/a>, these festivities are an opportunity to learn more about the region’s emblematic breed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transhumance is an essential stage in thebreeding of cattle breeds, an opportunity to see oxen, calves, heifers and all the stars of the herd<\/strong>! And, of course, it’s also the perfect opportunity to take a walk in the company of the herds. The shortest transhumance to 1300 m altitude on the Aubrac plateau is 15 km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An emblematic cattle breed from the plateau of the same name, the Aubrac cow is particularly pretty, with its make-up-like eyes, matt coat, black muzzle edged in white and lyre-shaped horns. Hardy, it is adapted to the harsh climate of the high plateaus<\/strong>, where the wind can blow hard and temperatures vary rapidly. In Laguiole, a statue of a bull has proudly represented the Aubrac breed since 1947. But cows have been present on the plateau since the 18th century!
Breeders in the area produce Charolais meat<\/strong>, which you’ll find in butchers’ shops. Dairy production<\/strong> is also highlighted, with milk from the Aubrac mountains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n
