ショーメイのおすすめランニングルート

If you don't take the detour from the GR, you'll have to look for the trails west of the summit... but the view is great, weather permitting.

Chaumeil may not seem like much, but this seemingly insignificant village is home to two local celebrities. A charming museum open only during the summer season pays tribute to Jean Ségurel, the famous accordionist born and died in the village. The museum also has a bicycle by Raymond Poulidor, a famous French cyclist born in Masbaraud-Mérignat in the Creuse. The famous “Allez Poupou” is inscribed in the collective memory of cyclists. His duels with Anquetil contributed to the legend of the Tour de France.

Picnic tables

Beautiful panoramic view to the low mountain range.

Must not exaggerate! by bike, only the climb to Suc au May from Chaumeil (Tour de France 2020) at% to more than 10%. Col des Géants and Col du Bos are well below 10%

From Suc au May you have an almost uninterrupted 360 degree view. It's especially nice in the morning, also for taking photos.

It is a summit that I climb regularly, indeed some rough passages but what happiness up there! The undergrowth in the col des giants are magnificent. Not to miss !

To reach this point of view, it is necessary to deserve it: all the climbs which bring it there, asphalted or not, have parts with more than 10% of elevation! But only the roads that access it are beautiful.
