Sustained climb but doable on gravel with wide tires. The descent on gravel would be no fun, always on the brakes. Be careful on the ridge at the col de Sucheyre, the stones are very aggressive, I tore the sidewall of my tire.

JAUJAC is surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Tanargues mountains, Fabras hills and St. Cirgues de Prades. This diversity of landscapes makes this village, built along the Lignon river, a real gem.

This church, whose origins date back to the foundation of the priory of Nieigles shortly before the year 1000 by Guy of Anjou, dates from the 12th century. Source Wikipedia.

I recommend La Motte, blue slope, as well as Chambelasse and Ranc Grand, green slopes, all three magnificent. Remember to bring a jersey for your arrival in Lignon, and a little change to taste a DRAC, the local beer brewed in the village.

An old Roman road between Meyras and Le Crouset, very pretty, paved with stones for the first few meters, then on dirt, to reach Neyras-les-Bains, avoiding the main road.
