History will record that this will be my very first ride with my very first VTTAE. This even if the weather is not very good. But delighted to have tested my new mount in real life and realized that it is truly all-terrain.. On the other hand, disappointment or poor use of the application on my part.. But I started this journey from from a point different from point A. And once I arrive at point A, the app tells me that I have arrived even though I had only completed half the route. The algorithm should perhaps be made smarter by offering to set a starting point from any location on a given route.

In 1211, the burning of the Cassés marked a tragic moment. During the crusade against the Albigensians, more than 60 Cathars were burned alive at Les Cassés. This massacre is commemorated by a memorial, erected on the site itself. Despite the sad history, the panorama is truly beautiful.
