From Axat, it's a long climb, 18km. It's quite beautiful down in the gorges, then a few kilometers of fairly monotonous woods. Arriving on the plateau, it clears up but it's rural. The impressive view is worth it when you reach the pass. Going down there must be a blast, the tarmac is good, it's quite wide and there's little traffic. I went down via Escouloubre: the tarmac is bad, gravel, but the forest is enchanting! Why not go the other way, then, up via Escouloubre and down via Bousquet / Roquefort etc.?

From Puyvalador, a real pleasure!

The place is suitable as a last stop before the climb up the Col de Pailheres. There is drinking water and at least a bar. Unfortunately they didn't have a kitchen when I was there and no working toilet, but there is a public toilet.

If you are not sitting on the racer and driving through beautiful countryside, you could visit the castle

Shortly after beginning the ascent to Port de Pailhères on its eastern slope, the Usson castle can be perfectly admired in its splendor. The view of the castle continues during the first 3 km, so you can take several panoramic views of it.

Rustic and sunny mountain village located on the eastern slope of the Col de Pailhères. There is everything you need for a cycling route, except a repair shop in case of emergency. The panoramic views of the town from its outskirts are beautiful.
