Léon had modestly referred to it as an "uninspiring landscape". Léon has good manners.

The result is as good as it gets. From start to finish, we blissfully watch hideous building after hideous building go by.
It's touching.
A few stray cottages. Their inhabitants must have wondered what they had done to deserve such tasteless chaos.
From a cycling point of view, it's pretty serious. The 12％ are definitely there. So are the bloody cars. The surface is beyond reproach.
The descent is a treat! Big curve and roundabout!
Léon avait pudiquement parlé de « paysage peu inspirant ». Léon est bien élevé.
Moi, je pense que c’est un concours d’architecture qui a mal tourné. Ou alors, les édiles ont convoqué les pires architectes et leur ont donné comme mission : « allez-y, faites nous du sale ! ».
Le résultat est à la hauteur. On regarde béatement défiler bâtiment hideux après bâtiment hideux du début jusqu’à la fin.
C’en est touchant.
On croise aussi quelques maisonnettes égarées. On se dit que ce mont devait être mignon avant le concours des horreurs. Leurs habitants ont dû se demander ce qu’ils avaient fait pour mériter pareil chaos de mauvais goût.
D’un point de vue cycliste, c’est plutôt sérieux. Les 12％ sont bien présents. Les satanées voitures aussi. Le revêtement est irréprochable.
La descente est un régal ! Grande courbe et rond-point ! Le soir, c’est désert…
A good running slope to get out of the centre of Boulogne. Quite heavy traffic and not a nice view, but in itself a good running slope.
Een goed lopende helling om uit het centrum van Boulogne te raken. Vrij druk verkeer en geen mooi uitzicht, maar op zich wel een goed lopende helling.
One of the many possibilities to climb in and around Boulogne-sur-Mer. This climb brings you in one time from the busy Boulogne to the end of the city. The slope itself goes over a fairly wide road with some car traffic. Part 1 of the climb is not too demanding and together with the uninspiring landscape, the climb doesn't inspire much enthusiasm until then. Then, after a left turn, it suddenly goes steep up. So steep that it forces you to get out of the saddle for a moment. Once we reach the hospital the gradient slows down again. The climb continues for another 500 meters, but the worst is over. The last few hectares the percentages go up a bit.
Één van de vele mogelijkheden om te klimmen in en rondom Boulogne-sur-Mer. Deze klim brengt je in één keer vanuit het drukke Boulogne richting het einde van de stad. De helling zelf gaat over een redelijk brede weg met ook wel enig autoverkeer. Deel 1 van de klim is niet al te veeleisend en samen met het weinig inspirende landschap wekt de klim tot dan weinig enthousiasme. Dan gaat het na een linkerbocht toch ineens steil omhoog. Zo danig steil dat het je dwingt toch even uit het zadel te komen. Éénmaal het ziekenhuis bereikt vlakt het weer af. De klim loopt daarna nog ruim 500 meter verder, maar het ergste is dan achter de rug. De laatste hectometers gaan de percentages nog weer iets omhoog.
