Worst cobbled stretch I've cycled in my life. Absolutely to be avoided with the racing bike. The scenery is beautiful though if you find time to enjoy it

Slechtste kasseistrook die ik in mijn leven al fietste. Absoluut te vermijden met de koersfiets. De omgeving is wel mooi als je tijd vindt om hiervan te genieten

The 2 photos show the chapel of Notre-Dame de Mouligneau, a small building of whitewashed brick and bluestone under a high slate roof with a thin bell tower. This chapel marks the beginning of the slope.

Les 2 photos montrent la chapelle Notre-Dame de Mouligneau, petit édifice en briques chaulées et pierre bleue sous une haute toiture d'ardoises à mince clocheton. Cette chapelle marque le début de la pente.

To be done only by those who love cobbles. The only interest for me is that from the Mouligneau chapel onwards, you go through a forest environment. There is a plan to create a smooth cycle path here...

A faire uniquement par celles et ceux qui adorent les pavés. Le seul intérêt pour moi, c'est qu'on évolue, à partir de la chapelle du Mouligneau, dans un environnement forestier. Le projet existe d'y créer une piste cyclable ... lisse ...
