Very small alley that overlooks the church. This small detour is highly recommended to appreciate the constructions of the region

Just if you feel like a challenge, this way into St Ybar is pretty steep. Garmin gave a percentage of 21 %, throughout the, fortunately short, climb. I'll recommend the Rue Côte de la Sauveterre to get in St Ybar.

A nice, easy route form Beaumont sur Lèze towards Saint Ybar. The route roughly follows the river Lèze (D74) and is a very nice alternative for the busy D4 which runs on the other side of the river and is mainly used by cars and trucks.

Pretty hiking trails run through the Lèze. The climb to the mills of Lézat is arduous and continues on a superb ridge line.

A nice, quiet, alternative route from Beaumont towards Lezat. Easy cycling, nice field, especially when they are covered with sunflowers. Much better then the busy D4, which follows roughly the same route.

The bastide of Carla-Bayle is picturesque (do not miss if you pass in the area to also go to Saint-Ybars), the panorama on the Pyrenees is superb there from the ramparts and the orientation table. This junction towards Rieux-Volvestre, its cathedral and its Papogay follows small roads and offers beautiful panoramas.
