Following on from Cro-Magnon's already comprehensive message, I would like to add that the condition of the road on the whole of the ascent (and not just on the diversions to the abandoned Institut de Géographie Alpine building) is generally poor and requires caution on the way back down.

Towards the top of the hill, a passageway is currently closed to vehicles (work in progress), even if a cyclist can squeeze through.

It should be noted that according to the latest information I have received (summer 2024), there will be no more university halls of residence on the Rabot site from the start of the academic year 2025. I wonder what will happen to the buildings concerned. I hope that they too will not be abandoned...

À la suite du message déjà très complet de Cro-Magnon, j'ajoute que l'état de la route sur l'ensemble de la montée (et pas seulement sur le détour vers l'immeuble abandonné de l'Institut de Géographie Alpine) est mauvais en général et nécessite d'être prudent lors de la redescente. Vers le haut de la côte, un passage est même actuellement interdit au véhicule (travaux en cours), même si un cycliste peut s'y faufiler.

L'immeuble actuellement à l'abandon devrait être bientôt transformé, comme son voisin immédiat, en séries de résidences privées pour « The Babel Community ».

À noter que selon les dernières informations que j'ai reçues (été 2024), il n'y aura plus de résidence universitaire sur le site du Rabot à partir de la rentrée 2025. Je me demande ce que les bâtiments concernés vont devenir. J'espère qu'ils ne seront pas laissés à l'abandon à leur tour…

It's worth a visit, not so much for the coastline itself, but to discover this abandoned, dilapidated and spray-painted university building.
What's more, the university residence offers a view of the Bastille.
To see the ruined building, take the first road on the left as you come down from the summit.
Watch out for punctures. Shards of bottle. The building can be visited. Something to see, something to do.

À faire, pas tant pour la côte en soi que pour découvrir ce bâtiment universitaire abandonné, décati et tagué.
Et puis, la résidence universitaire offre une vue sur la Bastille.
Pour aller voir la bâtisse en ruine, il faut prendre la première route à gauche lorsque l’on redescend du sommet.
Attention aux crevaisons. Tessons de bouteilles. L’immeuble se visite. À voir, à faire.
