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.
