Quite a long climb.
It's quiet up to Saint Jean Soleymieux and then the road narrows and rises a little too.
The same goes for the traffic, which is much calmer after Saint Jean.
No magnificent views from the summit, but a lovely forest atmosphere.
Ascension assez longue.
C'est calme jusqu'à Saint Jean Soleymieux et après la route rétréci et s'élève un peu aussi.
Idem pour le trafic, bien plus calme après Saint Jean.
Pas de magnifique point de vue au sommet, mais une belle ambiance de forêt.
