그랑드리외 최고의 사이클링 경로

In one of the best-preserved parts of the Margeride massif, the Three Sisters pass is said to have been named after the story of three sisters born in the parish of La Panouse, all three of whom were hired as servants in the local barracks. According to the dictionary of the rural world, these barracks refer to old inns located at the start of steep roads. This allowed the wagoners to reinforce their teams before setting off.

Market on Tuesdays (summer) and Saturdays

There we found the Meteil bread seller (a mixture of rye and sourdough) from the previous day's market in Costaros, under the market hall. Producers of fruit and vegetables, cheeses, and charcuterie. Everything for an ideal picnic.

Somewhere is always up

From the first glimpses of this lake at its western end to riding high above on a gravel track, this huge body of water is an imposing sight, sitting at 945 metres high (3,100 ft). Riding its full 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) length t's hugely tempting to head in for a dip to cool off in the summer months at one of its beaches near the small town of Naussac, before heading into Langogne.

A true inland sea of 1050 hectares of limpid blue! Supervised beaches, snack bar, hiking trails...

Great view of the lake from the road.

Nice little road that leads to this pass. Beautiful and relaxing landscape. Worth the detour.
