This is indeed a really nice climb to get started in this area. It's not a very spectacular climb, but it is a nice long climb that is not too easy and not too hard. And there is hardly any traffic! It did feel a bit more irregular in gradients than the profile suggests. ... read more

Delightful climb to get the legs ready for the Mont du Chat on the other side. We drove 'm at the roundabout at the bottom a bit further, via Truisson and Duisse. A lot more challenging, the road climbs almost 10-12％ km, but in return, after Duisse, you get a short descent before rejoining the main road. This road is not busy at all, hardly any traffic and just a nice French landscape with small hamlets and average good tarmac. At the top there is a plateau where you can speed up a bit and then dive into a forest where the view disappears.

Heerlijk klim om de benen op spanning te krijgen voor de Mont du Chat aan de andere kant. Wij reden 'm overigens bij de rotonde onderaan iets door, via Truisson en Duisse. Een stuk uitdagender, de weg klimt daar bijna een kilometer aan 10-12％, maar daar krijg je dan na Duisse een korte afdaling voor terug voordat je weer op de hoofdweg aansluit. Die is totaal niet druk trouwens, vrijwel geen verkeer en gewoon een heel aardig Frans landschap met kleine gehuchtjes en gemiddeld goed asfalt. Bovenaan krijg je een soort plateau waarop je even vaart kunt maken en dan duik je een bos in waardoor je uitzicht verdwijnt.

Vertiginous slopes in some places that break the legs, fortunately that behind the percentages are low!

Pentes vertigineuses à certains endroits qui cassent les pattes, heureusement que derrière les pourcentages sont faibles !
