This short climb is well worth the diversions and can be followed either by the Col d'Eze from Villefranche or the ascent of Mont Boron and then Fort Alban, before continuing on to the Col des 4 Chemins via the Chemin du Vinaigrier. The road itself climbs well, very well, and takes you to the corniche with its sea views and large, beautiful houses. The road at the top is busy but has a cycle lane, so it's fine.... read more

Cette petite montée vaut le détour et peut être enchaîné soit par le col d’eze depuis villefranche ou bien la montée du mont boron puis fort Alban, avant d’enchaîner sur le col des 4 chemins par le chemins du vinaigrier. En elle même la route monte bien, très bien, et vous emmène sur la corniche vue mer et grosse et belles maisons. La route en haut est passante mais dispose d’une bande cyclable donc ça va.

First hill in Nice. It's a lovely place. Lots of traffic, of course, but drivers are careful with cyclists here. It twists and turns upwards. Nothing too violent. Arrived in front of the Château de l'Anglais. A pleasant ride.

Première côte à Nice. Elle est bien mignonne. Beaucoup de circulation évidemment mais, ici, les automobilistes font attention aux cyclistes. Ça grimpe en lacets. Rien de bien violent. Arrivée devant le Château de l’Anglais. Agréable balade.
