A nice quiet climbbin beautiful scenery and views. The climb starts in Les Deux Aygues and for the first km you wouldn't think it was a mountain you were riding up. After 1km you notice that your speed is suddenly quite a bit less and it's over 23km! After 3/4 of the climb the gradients suddenly shoot up and it even gets steep
However, you do have regular stretches of descent during this climb.

Een mooie rustige klimbin een prachtige omgeving en mooie uitzichten. De klim begint in Les Deux Aygues en de eerste km zou je niet denken dat het een berg is waar je oprijdt. Na 1km merk je dat je snelheid plotseling een heel stuk minder is en het is meer dan 23 km! Na 3/4 beklimming schieten de stijgingspercentages plotseling de hoogte in en wordt hij zelfs steil
Wel heb je regelmatig een stuk afdaling gedurende deze beklimming.

It's a long climb on a little-used road that runs alongside the river, climbing gently as you go. Then suddenly the road bends and the gradients are quite steep! Make sure you are well prepared both mentally and physically to avoid getting the munchies. The view from the summit is quite nice and well worth the diversions.

Montée longue, sur une route peu fréquentée qui longe la rivière en montant tout doucement au fur et à mesure. Puis d'un coup la route se cambre et les pourcentages sont assez importants ! Attention à bien y être préparé mentalement et physiquement pour ne pas risquer la fringale. La vue au sommet est plutôt sympathique et vaut le détour.
