Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Saint-Roch Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

Saint-Roch is the most represented saint on the paths of Saint-Jacques. He is the patron saint of pilgrims. His story is tragic. Suffering from the Black Death, he warns passers-by that he is contagious by pointing with his finger to a bubo on his left thigh. He is always represented accompanied by his little dog who is in charge of bringing him food. The statues of Saint-Roch are numerous. This one is beautifully made.

Col de l'Hospitalet

Highlight • Religious Site

At the pass was a hospital founded in 1198 and run by the Templars, which was originally dedicated to James. The building was destroyed during the Wars of Religion. Today, only the source Saint-Roche is present, whose water is to help with poorly healing wounds and eye diseases.
