Totally agree with Jonas regarding year round options. Autumn is probably best as it opens up La Croix and Cazals, although I have climbed at both in the summer, the tufas at la Croix stay in the shade until mid afternoon and are fine unless it's silly hot.
Anglers has a couple of 'too polished to be fully enjoyable' routes but out of the 30 or so I have done there only two or three have disappointed.
