Ah, this little road is quite unusual!
It twists, turns, zigzags, slaloms and undulates for 16km. The guys who mapped it out were in no hurry to get home.
They bequeathed cyclists a myriad of beautiful bends and a very gentle gradient.
This road, which narrows and deteriorates after Utelle, is very harmonious and the scenery is varied.
There's never a dull moment.
The views from the top are splendid.
The Mediterranean on one side, the mountain range on the other.
Only the slightly low percentage makes you hesitate to give it five stars.
Oh yes, and take a look at the religious articles shop! Yes, the Madonna business is not afraid of the altitude.
Otherwise, there's also the refreshment bar, run by the same company...
But really, go and see this Madonna!

Ah cette petite route est bien singulière !
Elle se tortille, s’enroule, zigzague, slalome, ondule pendant 16km. Les gars qui l’ont tracée n’étaient pas pressés de rentrer à la maison.
Ils lèguent aux cyclistes une myriade de très beaux virages et un pourcentage bien doux.
Cette route qui se rétrécie et se dégrade après Utelle est très harmonieuse et les décors proposés sont variés.
On ne s’ennuie pas.
Là-haut, la vue, les vues, sont splendides.
La Méditerranée d’un côté, la chaîne montagneuse de l’autre.
Seul le pourcentage un peu léger fait hésiter à donner cinq étoiles.
Ah oui et puis faites un tour à la boutique d’articles religieux ! Eh oui, le commerce des madones n’a pas peur de l’altitude.
Sinon, vous avez aussi la buvette, c’est la même maison…
Mais, vraiment, allez voir cette madone !

Nice steady climb at 6% perfect surface up to utelle a little less good the rest of the way. 15kms of pleasure in the olive groves to start with and in the pines to finish with the icing on the cake a splendid view from the summit.

Belle montée régulière à 6% revêtement parfait jusqu'à utelle un peu moins bon le reste du parcours. 15kms de plaisir dans les oliviers pour commencer et dans les pins pour finir et cerise sur le gâteau une vue splendide au sommet
