Introduction
"Sur les Pas des Huguenots" is a European cooperation project involving the creation of an international hiking trail following the historic route of the Huguenots* exile from the Dauphiné. Description of the stage from Les Nonières to Le Percy.
When the Edict of Nantes was revoked by Louis XIV in the 17th century, imposing a return to "the true religion", a period of exodus began for the Protestant population. "Sur les Pas des Huguenots" is a European cooperation project involving the creation of an international long-distance hiking trail following the historical route of the exile of the Huguenots* from the Dauphiné.
The stage described here links Les Nonières to Le Percy, through the magnificent landscapes of the Trièves and Diois regions.
