It's a very pretty climb, complicated only by the first few gradients as you leave Saignes. After that, the slope remains gentle, albeit uneven, and offers many different landscapes over its length. The view of the Cantal peaks at the finish is sumptuous. There is an inn for refreshments.

Une très jolie montée qui n'a de compliqué que les premiers pourcentages, en sortant de Saignes. Ensuite, la pente reste douce, bien qu'irrégulière, et offre de nombreux paysages différents de par sa longueur. La vue sur les sommets du Cantal, une fois à l'arrivée, est somptueuse. Il y a une auberge pour vous restaurer.
