The climb is in 2 parts, with the first part quite steep and with steep gradients, on a road with very little traffic and in full sun if you do it at lunchtime like I did. Fortunately, the end of the climb is less steep and much shadier. The descent on the other side is very pleasant but fairly fast.... read more

It wasn't planned at the outset, and it was only when we reached Cruas that we decided to take the climb. The road is quite steep from the outset, with few cars. The descent that follows is tricky with its gravel.

Elle n'était pas prévue au départ, c'est une fois arrivé à Cruas, que le choix de l'ascension s'est présenté. Route assez abrupte d'emblée, avec peu de voitures. La descente qui s'en suit est piégeuse avec ses gravillons.

The first few ramps are steep, but the rest is easier. No traffic. A pleasant climb

Les premières rampes présentent des pourcentages importants mais la suite est plus facile. Pas de circulation. Montée agréable

Montée en 2 parties, avec une première assez raide et des pourcentages importants, sur une route très peu fréquentée et en plein soleil si vous la faites comme moi sur le temps de midi. Heureusement la fin de l'ascension est moins pentue et beaucoup plus ombragée. Descente très agréable mais assez rapide de l'autre côté.
