This remarkable fountain was installed in Chauprix in 1902. It was originally located on the site of the Saint-Arigle market in Nevers, and probably dates from the 1820s, the decade in which the first market was erected (rebuilt twice since).

From Martangy to the west, this pass provides access to Saint-Benin-des-Bois. 4km long, with an average gradient of 4%, it offers reasonable gradients on a well-maintained road through the undergrowth. At the summit (434m) is an imposing telecommunications tower.

Coming from Nyon, Komoot allows the direct route via Les Verges. However, it's gravel, and at the end you have to carry your bike up a small embankment. It's better to take the outside route via the Route des Quemins (a 100m detour).
