Nice view from the hill

The Col du Layrac is a great exit goal. Whether for its ascent by roads and wooded paths or its clear summit which offers a beautiful panorama of the surrounding mountains.

It marks a historic route that allowed crossing the mountain. In the 18th and 19th centuries, a coaching inn was installed there. After the steep climb, the horses of the stagecoaches linking Saint-Gervais-sur-Mare to Lacaune could thus be replaced by fresh horses. After the great effort it took you to climb up here, you too can take a breather in the rest area which offers a panorama of the surroundings. The Col de la Croix de Mounis has been crossed 3 times by the Tour de France, being classified in 2nd or 3rd category depending on the year.

A nice climb with an unobstructed view of the surrounding mountains ... and therefore no shade in summer. This is the traffic axis between Lodève and Bédarieux, there may be passages of trucks. But it's okay, it's still bearable, and the road is wide enough.
