06-Sep-2025 -- Lors de mon voyage à vélo, le samedi 6 septembre vers 17h30, je suis passé par le point 43°N,3°E. J'avais pédalé une longue partie de la journée, heureusement le terrain était plat. Par contre, pour atteindre ce CP, il a fallu monter 100m de dénivelé. Depuis la ville de Port-la-Nouvelle au nord-est du point, j'ai emprunté le chemin GR367 (Sentier de l'ancienne frontière Occitano-Catalane) qui est en fait un chemin de randonnée. Il a fallu pousser le vélo dans les portions trop raides ou trop caillouteuses.

Le point est situé à 50m d'une piste reliant plusieurs éoliennes. C'est là que j'ai laissé le vélo. Pour une fois, le terrain n'est pas cultivé, il y a des buissons piquants (que je ne sais pas identifier) et des cailloux. Les cailloux semblaient d'ailleurs avoir été déplacés par un précédent visiteur sur l'endroit exact du point. Les photos ont été prises rapidement et comme j'avais encore beaucoup de route, je suis reparti sur la piste en continuant vers le sud.

06-Sep-2025 --During my bike trip, on Saturday, September 6th, around 5:30 p.m., I passed the 43°N, 3°E point. I had cycled for most of the day; fortunately, the terrain was flat. However, to reach this CP, I had to climb 100 meters of elevation gain. From the town of Port-la-Nouvelle, northeast of the CP, I took the GR367 trail (Old Occitano-Catalan Border Trail), which is actually a hiking trail. I had to push the bike through the sections that were too steep or too rocky.

The point is located 50m from a track connecting several wind turbines. That's where I left my bike. For once, the land isn't cultivated, there are prickly bushes (which I can't identify) and stones. The stones also seemed to have been moved by a previous visitor to the exact location of the point. The photos were taken quickly, and since I still had a long way to go, I set off again on the track, continuing south.
