Montée facile comparée aux 3-4 ascensions au tour, route dans un bon état mais au soleil dans la majorité

The Péguère climb will no doubt have taken its toll on your legs, but the view from the summit at Portel is well worth the effort. There’s little traffic, the road and the scenery are beautiful, and the gradient is never very steep

Le mur de Péguère aura sûrement eu raison de vos jambes, mais le point de vue au sommet de Portel en vaut la chandelle. Peu de circulation, la route et les paysages sont beaux et la pente n'est jamais très raide

It's worth continuing past the peguere, with beautiful views from the top on both sides.

Ça vaut la peine de continuer après le peguere, belle vue en haut sur les deux côtés
