A magnificent spot with the road winding under the rock, running alongside a partially underground stream. It's both breathtaking and peaceful. Plus, there's a starting point for a short walk; I did the beginning and it was lovely: I'd love to come back and do a longer section!

The road is a bit chilly in winter, near the start of the climb to Cachaudegé and the Portech pass.

This is the longest tunnel on the greenway: it's super fun to go through. Be careful: it's a bit chilly!

Pleasant track which allows you to avoid the main road. Be careful though, the surface is not tar, but more packed gravel and on a road bike it is not always pleasant.

Nestled in Ariège, Saint-Lizier offers a dive into the past with its preserved medieval heritage. Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, it seduces with its cathedral and its frescoes. Formerly an episcopal seat and a stopover on the way to Santiago de Compostela, this quiet village has perfectly preserved its older buildings and is worth a detour.

Couserans is a Gascon country of mountains, hills, meadows, lakes, waterfalls and forests which is entirely part of the Pyrénées Ariégeoises Regional Natural Park. Among its 18 valleys located at the foot of the majestic Mount Valier, some remained landlocked until the recent past, which allowed them to maintain their own identity, such as the Bethmale valley. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was an overpopulated country whose small agricultural plots did not allow families to live, which is why the inhabitants had to show a lot of imagination to find survival activities. This is how some became “bear handlers”, peddlers of vanilla, fake stone, ice. Others became itinerant “raw distillers” or gold prospectors.
