Castres Locator CVU, 26 July 2007.

They say that one picture can say more than thousand words. It’s the same with the route to this beacon.
The Castres bypass – D1012 – at the west of Castres, is not yet on to see at Google Earth. But it’s in use. And it is curving just around the bottom of the hill on which the beacon is standing.
As soon as you have past the hill you take the exit and at the roundabout take the first turn, the D83. Nearly immediate you turn right onto a narrow road that leads to Saint-Martial-de-Castres. Go trough this village and just outside turn right and another turn right. The next road to the right (the third turn in a row) leads up hill and the beacon is at the end off the road.
The map shows that the beacon is at a height of 273 metres.
