Steady climb from Daumazan to Meras

Sunset Spot

superb, very quiet road along the Sarda ridge with a beautiful view of the foothills of the Pyrenees

On the edge of Ariège (which gives its name to the department), the town of Saverdun, in addition to being well served by rail, is also the starting point for many excursions. Whether in the Pyrenean foothills to the west or in the beautiful plain to the east.

Nice view near this bridge, before the climb!

Saint-Martin-d'Oydes is a small commune located in the south-west of France, in the Ariège department in the Occitanie region and is part of the Community of communes "du Pays de Pamiers". Saint-Martin d'Oydes, a remarkable fortified site, is the only circular village in Ariège. This medieval shape, called "elliptical" or "circular", has remained completely intact. Its houses are grouped in a ring around the church. For a few years Tony Blair, then British Prime Minister, came to spend his family holidays in Saint Martin d'Oydes and even inaugurated the village's Tourist Office. He stayed in the 12th-century fortified castle... Its church and the Saint-Anastase fountain, a local pilgrimage site believed to be miraculous for the eyes.

By this road (which turns out to have a good percentage of ascent), we again take a little height. The mountains at the bend of very pretty curves on the road and in the landscape appear in all their majesty. This beautiful countryside bears the name of Pyrenean Piedmont.

By this detour, you avoid going through the road that crosses the cavity right through. It is certainly one of the most beautiful views of this unique cave.
