What a strange profile this côte de Malic has! From Touët, it's the road to Valberg and the Col de Sinne. And it's immediately impressive and grandiose. But that's for another time.

What a strange profile this côte de Malic has!
From Touët, it's the road to Valberg and the Col de Sinne. And it's immediately impressive and grandiose.
But that's for another time. We turn left towards Rigaud.
The road is very good and climbs moderately.
Then, immediately after the village, the surface deteriorates considerably and the gradients become even more dramatic!
The 3 kilometres in double figures hurt like hell.
Then it's a leisurely finish on a small forest road that winds gently across a plateau.
Sheep, an ugly patou and horses.
Malic? A mystery! According to Google Map, it's this old farmhouse (see photo).

Étrange profil, cette côte de Malic !
Au départ de Touët, c’est la route de Valberg et du col de Sinne. Et c’est tout de suite impressionnant et grandiose.
Mais ce sera pour une autre fois. Nous tournons à gauche en direction de Rigaud.
La route est très bonne et grimpe modérément.
Ensuite, immédiatement après le village, le revêtement se dégrade considérablement et les pourcentages s’affolent plus considérablement encore !
Les 3 kilomètres à deux chiffres font bien mal.
Puis, la fin s’effectue tranquillement sur une petite route forestière qui serpente gentiment sur un plateau.
Des moutons, un vilain patou et des chevaux.
Malic ? Un mystère ! Selon Google Map, ce serait cette vieille ferme (voir photo).
