After leaving the secluded village of Lamanère (the southernmost village in France), a 10km climb awaits, alternating between gravel and a somewhat rougher track of stones and rocks. In summer, the trees do provide some shade. A solitary climb through the countryside, encountering just one walker almost at the top.

na het verlaten van het van de wereld afgezonderde Lamanère (het meest zuidelijke dorpje van Frankrijk) wacht een 10km lange beklimming, afwisselend op gravel en een wat ruwere weg met steen en rots. In de zomer zorgen de bomen toch voor enige schaduw. Eenzame beklimming in de natuur, slechts 1 wandelaar tegenkomen bijna aan de top.
