Not exactly a climb that one can write volumes about. Before you are halfway down the page, you are at the top. From bottom to top it is almost the same. It's a climb you can tackle in a single breath, so to speak, if..... the Mistral isn't blowing. Then there's a good chance you'll have to pedal downhill to gain some speed.

Not a very impressive climb through several lavender fields. Behind the name is undoubtedly a beautiful anecdote, but it is unknown to me. The climb consists of a fairly wide road, especially compared to the amount of traffic using it: not much.

🤔 Since road signs did not yet exist, trees or remarkable stones were placed in various places since ancient times. In the Occitan dialect, the oumé (pronounced aoumé) was the elm or abalone, a large tree that was used to materialise this col, and when that tree died, the point became the col de l'oumé mort. The translation of this was translated by the topographers as the col de l'homme mort. 😉

Apart from the creepy name, this good little pass that can be used as a warm-up offers us a great view and in summer with the blue sky it's beautiful!

I've cycled two days in that valley and two days there was really strong wind. I do not know if that is normal in that valley. Therefore it was certainly not easy. You have just before the top a beautiful view over the valley.
