Theme

Pass hunters" are attracted by this special kind of game. Among the passes, there are some that are even more special, as they divide the waters into two very distant final destinations: they are located on a "watershed". Here's a tour of 100 passes along the Atlantic/Mediterranean divide, from Cluny to the Port de Pailhères. One hundred passes to discover the diversity of the massifs and regions crossed by the watershed, one hundred passes on this itinerary that closely follows this remarkable geographical boundary.
