The Col de la Fageole is a mountain pass in the Massif Central, located in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, in the department of Cantal.
History
This pass, part of the road from Saint-Flour to Massiac, was used to travel from the South to the North of France through the Cantal region. Due to frequent snow whirlwinds in winter, indicator poles had been installed along the road.[2][3]
