Rather to be done on foot (portage for the bike, except perhaps with a mountain bike via the track not the wooden staircase)...but superb place with a clear 360° view!
"Near the communes of Montaud and St Drézéry to the north of Montpellier, on the hill of Grand Devès at an altitude of 212m, the Germans have installed a radio detection and observation station in the Montpellier sector. There is a base there which was to support a pylon but which was recovered and modified by France Telecom, as well as defense and infantry positions protecting a barracks made of dry stones, perforated orange bricks, sheet metal and wood.The station will be occupied by around ten soldiers and supplied by the inhabitants of St Drézéry, it will be destroyed by fire when the Germans leave in August 44." source: sudwall.superforum.fr/t9414-centre-de -detection-of-grand-deves-montaud-34
