"(Coming from Lauruns). South of Pau on the N134 and its continuation the N134bis from Gan. South of Miégébat there is a road which leads to the Pic de Cézi. On the south side of the Pic, there is ophite, scapolite (grey or black crystals), micas. At the foot of the Pic, there are old copper mines with chalcopyrite." [Belot, 1978]
