Nothing great, but part of the route back from Les Dentelles de Montmirail which is superb

Quiet climb over narrow road surface that may be in need of replacement. is typically included in 'warm-up routes' the day before Ventoux climbs. I found it pleasant cycling but nothing else really special.

Very little interest.
To warm up before the Ventoux? To recover after the Ventoux?
The route is good and not very busy. I had trouble identifying the route. You have to take the D85, then the D224.
