Don't be fooled by any reviewers who think this is easy – it's a bitch of a climb. OK, it's only a kilometer, but you're in the red from bottom to top with some very tight hairpins to negotiate. Test yourself by doing a couple of repeats and then say if it's easy!
The Lac du Paty at the top is an old reservoir with some good swimming but bring your rock shoes! The restaurant (only open summer season) does a surprisingly good brochette.
A nice little climb. Once you've climbed the Mur de Monieux (near Sault), these short climbs of less than 10％ seem pretty easy. The road is in very average condition but it's deserted.
The cute little lake awaits us at the top. Then it's on to the Mur de Suzette, which is more formidable.
Une petite montée bien sympathique. Une fois que l’on a grimpé le Mur de Monieux (proche de Sault), ces côtes courtes à moins de 10％ paraissent toutes plutôt faciles. La route est dans un état très moyen mais elle est déserte.
Le mignon petit lac nous attend en haut. Ensuite, direction le Mur de Suzette qui est plus redoutable.
Steep climb that ends at a lake. Take the trouble to go to the lake from the car park. Just past the car park, you can cycle down. And enjoy the surroundings during the climb and the descent.
Steile klim die eindigt bij een meertje. Neem even de moeite om vanaf de parkeerplaats naar het meer te gaan. Net voorbij de parkeerplaats kun je fietsend naar beneden. En geniet ook van de omgeving tijdens de klim en het afdalen.
