July 30, 2024,Boucle Pierre-sur-Haute – Col du Béal au départ de Saint-Pierre-la-Bourlhonne

Beautiful route which begins on a shaded path, before climbing onto a plateau, interesting at the beginning but a little long when you arrive at the summit. Passage on a plateau before descending into superb landscapes with very varied soils.
