It’s uphill to the Col de Perjuret pass – and then another burst of effort to get onto the Causse plateau. From there on, the landscape is all cultivated large open spaces, where the harshness of the land makes itself felt. Look around: on the right, the Nîmes-le-Vieux block field; on the left, the Aigoual massif; and below, the Jonte gorge!



A regular but quite long climb brings you onto the Causse Méjean plateau, where you will find a landscape not unlike Mongolia !
