Certainly superb view over the Agoût valley. The nearby panorama on the C14 between Girousens and ST Anatole is worth the detour with visibility up to the Pyrenees in good weather.

This route frequented by man at all times and well before Antiquity follows the ridges (there are some descents in the valleys and therefore climbs) between Massac-Séran and Puylaurens, it offers superb viewpoints and is very pleasant. (be careful, in winter it can be very sticky…). The trace published here follows only part of it.
