What a fantastic green gorge you buffalo up through. From a landscape point of view, it is one of the highlights of the south of France. Fortunately, nowhere steeper than 8％ so you can look around and enjoy, but it is long. And continuous! The condition of the road surface is very good in parts, but sometimes less so. Be careful during thunderstorms with hard rain. Then you have a lot of gravel! On the col you have a water pump with ice cold water. In my opinion, worth a big diversions.
