On this side, the climb is a little less strenuous but also less dangerous due to the traffic. It’s a peaceful route that isn’t strenuous or steep anywhere. The descent is very winding, though, and you can stop for a coffee in Gréoux… I prefer the narrow, quiet climb with plenty of greenery alongside the road.... read more

Langs deze kant is de klim iets minder zwaar maar ook minder gevaarlijk vanwege het verkeer. Het is een rustige locatie p er die nergens pijn doet of steil is. De afd5is wel heel bochtrijk en in Gréoux kan je een koffie drinken.. ik hou liever van de smalle verkeersluwe klimmetje met veel groen naast de we.

Like the climb the other side, this is just an easy to get over the hill.

A main road that's fairly wide, busy but never unsafe even in the middle of the day in Summer.
