From these flat areas, exceptional panoramas open up on the relief. The landscapes are pleasant, you ride the streams that feed the cultivated fields.
Once you arrive at the hamlet of Montagnarié, you enter the forest by the path of Baylou. At the top of this shaded slope, you can reach the chapel of Our Lady of Fatima, and its spring with supposed medicinal virtues. The place is very pleasant in summer, and you can picnic on the tables of the area provided for this purpose.
You then return to the village by a long descent that takes you near the limestone quarry of Saint-Chipoli.
