Author description

Authors Patrick Mandard and Philippe Chazottier
Course carried out on 5 April 2025
Departure : car park 200 metres from the Col Saint-Louis, south of the village of Saint-Louis-et-Parahou.

Technical specifications

A cycle route rated 95 %, mostly along lovely, fast-flowing tracks, suitable for gravel bikes. An easy route apart from a «boring» section leading up to the Col de la Béno, which can easily be avoided: a flat path running alongside the remains of a retaining wall, featuring a few tricky and awkward sections.
Arrivals at the Col de las Crabos and Col d'Artauzoul are at sight, off-path.
