Very beautiful road! It is indicated as crossed out in December 2023 but it passes without problem. A part of the road has collapsed but it is safe and there are easily 2m of bitumen left to pass.

This part offers a beautiful view of the village of Saint-Pal-de-Senouire. We can see the Saint-Paul church which sits at the top of the rocky promontory on which the village was built.

Beautiful view at 1190 meters above sea level, benches for pucknick available
