The Curiosité de Lauriole is not a place where you can find something to buy or other interesting things, no it's really an insignificant piece of road with only an optical illusion. When we were there for the first time we looked everywhere for something special but did not find anything. After a little search on google we found an interpretation of this phenomenon.
What you have to do to find the cache is just to find out the secret of the Curiosité de Lauriole. I give you 2 coordinates. You can put your car at one of this coordinates and just set your gear in the free and leave the breaks... because of the optical illusion you will think the car goes that direction but it's not!!!

THE COORDINATES:
Coordinate 1 : N43 20.886 E2 40.277
Coordinate 2 : N43 20.853 E2 40.288

THE QUESTION:
Which way does the road descent (go down):
From Coordinate 1 -> Coordinate 2 : N43 20.906 E2 40.306 (cache coordinates)
From Coordinate 2 -> Coordinate 1 : N43 20.845 E2 40.244 (cache coordinates)

Good luck!

Small note on cache maintenance: I work for an outdoor organisation and we are located not far from the cache at a place called Cantignergues. I'm there more times in a year.
