It's a nice climb, quite visual, with quite a few shady sections under the trees too, which is always appreciated in the heat. It's a pity that the surface is very uneven or even bad at times, but otherwise it's a nice climb and there's no traffic.... read more

It's a nice climb, quite visual, with quite a few shady sections under the trees too, which is always appreciated in the heat. It's a pity that the surface is very uneven or even bad at times, but otherwise it's a nice climb and there's no traffic.

Belle montée, assez visuelle, avec pas mal de passages à l'ombre sous les arbres également, toujours appréciable avec la chaleur. Dommage que le revêtement soit très irrégulier voire mauvais par moment, sinon belle montée et circulation inexistante.
