Truly a pimple in the middle of nowhere. This mountain is difficult because, firstly, the road is very wide and, secondly, the gradients are steep. In addition, every half kilometre it is slightly steeper or less steep. You never really get any rest. That wide road can make you feel despondent. But keep at it and persevere, it's worth it!

You ride alternately in the sun and in the shade. Only towards the end do you also get the views. Just before the summit there is a restaurant,

The descent is nice, with some cracks in the tarmac. But overall, that shouldn't have a name. Even for a day at the weekend (I rode on Sunday), I didn't find it super busy.

If for some reason you can't cycle up a mountain in France, I highly recommend this climb.

Echt een puist in de middle of nowhere. Deze berg is moeilijk omdat ten eerste de weg erg breed is, en ten tweede de hellingspercentages er niet om liegen. Daarbij is het ook iedere halve kilometer wel weer iets steiler of minder steil. Echt rust krijg je nooit. Door die brede weg krijg je wel eens een moedeloos gevoel. Maar blijf bijten en aanhouden, het is het waard!

Je rijdt afwisselend in de zon en in de schaduw. Pas tegen het einde krijg je ook de uitzichten erbij. Vlak voor de top is er een restaurant,

De afdaling is mooi, met wat scheurtjes in het asfalt. Maar over het algemeen mag dat geen naam hebben. Zelfs voor een dag in het weekend (ik reed op zondag) vond ik het niet super druk.

Mocht je om wat voor reden dan ook niet in Frankrijk op een berg kunnen fietsen, dan raad ik deze klim erg aan.
