France Buron du Puech Saint Geniez

A buron is a stone building, roofed with slate or stone tiles, found in the “mountains”—high-altitude pastures owned and used seasonally by valley farmers in the Cantal, Aubrac, Cézallier, Margeride, and Mont Dore mountain ranges. Many have been converted into restaurants today and welcome hikers and tourists, but others are still inhabited.

Aim for golden hour, especially sunrise, to get a beautiful light on the burons. Snow makes it magical in winter and very peaceful, while summer will bring more vivid colors.

You can play around different perspectives with your drone if you have a zoom option!

Follow the parking spot GPS. You don't need a 4x4 to drive around the Aubrac region, most of the roads are paved and well-maintained.

There are several hikes starting near Col d'Aubrac that you can do at any season (bring snowshoes in winter) passing near this buron.
