The mythical Gerbier d'where the Loire rises. The last kilometre is quite steep, but you will have to pass through it once you reach Saint Eulalie or Sagnes.

Was a super fun climb. With two children, one of 5 and one of 7 to do, but watch out. At the top super nice view of the mountains around. Recommended
