On an absolutely quiet road (at least when I did it, on 30 December), an intense, steep climb through a wooded landscape with lovely views of the Aiguilles de Baulmes. If you stop and turn around, you'll be treated to a sweeping panorama of the Swiss and French Alps. You can descend over the Col des Etroits via Ste-Croix and return to the starting point on the plain.
It's also worth doing in summer if you're looking for shade and a bit of fresh air.

Sur une route absolument tranquille (en tous cas quand je l'ai faite, à savoir le 30 décembre), une montée intense et raide dans un paysage forestier et avec de jolies vues sur les Aiguilles de Baulmes. Si l'on s'arrête et se retourne, un panorama très étendu des Alpes suisses et françaises s'offre à nos yeux. On peut descendre par le col des Etroits en passant par Ste-Croix pour revenir au point de départ, en plaine.
A faire aussi en été si l'on cherche de l'ombre et un peu de fraîcheur.
