beautiful sites that make France so famous. Apart from that, the road
only descends. You pass Cantobre, a village built on a rock and the
lively Medieval village of Nant. For the nightstay it is another 7km
to St. Jean-du-Bruel. The most challenging and beautiful stage is the 75 km long stage (1565m alt.) going up the slopes of the Mont Aigoual and cycling down some 24 beautiful kmthrough the Gorges de la Dourbie. (44, 58 or 71 km) |
