Delicate passages: A long (but easily adaptable thanks to the many accommodations along the way), hilly route (with a few physical but rarely long climbs) that presents no major difficulties. A few technical sections in the Morvan. An airy, technical section between Sainte-Enimie and Saint-Chély-du-Tarn (but easily avoided by joining the Col de Coperlac directly via the D 986 road from Sainte-Enimie). No portaging, but some pushing generally limited to a few meters.
