I wouldn’t recommend this climb as it starts on a cycle path in poor condition alongside a main road. After this section, the road is pleasant and very quiet.

Je ne recommande pas cette montée car elle commence par une piste cyclable en mauvais état le long d'une nationale. Après ce passage la route est agréable et très peu fréquentée.
