A great place with the magnificent Matagrin tower from which we have a magnificent 360° view of all the surrounding mountains. You can climb it from the Col de la Croix Casard by taking a fairly steep gravel path for 300 m which is best done with slightly wider tires or on foot. A little effort that is worth it with the superb view at the top.
