A really nice ramp to do if you like to hurt yourself for less than ten minutes. Steep but relatively short, this ramp will give cyclists with a passion for gradients something to do in this pleasant region of the Allier.

This climb would not look out of place in the Ardennes. Continuously steep. After the castle there is a slightly calmer section, but after the church there is another steep s-curve. Then it ends in a good 7％. Good tarmac. Castle can be visited, but only with a French-speaking guided tour.
