- Role: journey waypoint
- In the article: A one-day list of nine small passes ridden on an August 2025 trip, with the note that about half were detours to ‘pick them off’ and that Col du Lièvre was particularly ill advised. The day ends at a hotel with a cat.
- Why it matters: Names the day’s route through the southern Cévennes as a string of minor cols; no single col is described, so the area is the mappable place.
- Real vs. fictional: The text does not name the real place; the pin is a inference from the text.
- Where is it?: ⚠️ inferred. Clues in the text: Six of nine names resolve in OSM to the Gard Cévennes: Espeutiéra, Oursine, Lièvre, Rédarès, Aubret, Reynard; Col du Puech, Col de Palliès, Col de la Tourte not found in OSM; companion post ‘Picking off passes’ resolves to the same cluster (Uglas, Lamira, Baraque); author is based in Caromb (Vaucluse) and rides in France in 2025. Reference works: OSM Nominatim (https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org): Col de l’Espeutiéra (Saint-Jean-du-Gard, node 1649744275), Col de l’Oursine and Col du Lièvre (Lasalle), Col du Rédarès (Monoblet), Col de l’Aubret dolmen (Monoblet), Col de Reynard (Quissac) all in Gard, Cévennes. Wikipedia en: Saint-Jean-du-Gard 44.1056, 3.8869. Chosen: Cévennes, Gard (cols around Saint-Jean-du-Gard and Le Vigan) — Names resolve to one Cévennes cluster; the day’s exact route is unknown so the pin is approximate. Alternatives: Other regions with same-named cols: Col du Puech / Col de la Tourte exist elsewhere in Occitanie but the six resolved names are all in Gard.
