The road to the summit is asphalted but in very bad conditions. It’s called D607A and includes very steep sections, up to 19.0%. The pass is a vast limestone promontory in the chaparral countryside of the Gard, between the towns of Alès and Bagnols-sur-Cèze. At the peak there is a chapel with a statue of the Virgin, and a high, 60-meter TDF antenna called the “guidon du Bouquet" and culminating at 631 meters. In addition to the television relay there is a fire tower which is very effective in periods of drought.
