I'll always remember this Mont Agel!
First of all, because I found a way to get lost on the way up (I continued towards the Madonne de Gorbio...).
Secondly, because this climb is extremely varied and rather difficult too.
Then, finally, for the frustration of being blocked by a rather explicit barrier.
Yes, the summit of Mont Agel is a prohibited military site.
The first part of the route takes place in Monegasque traffic jams. The principality's cars may be beautiful, but they stink no less than anyone else's.
The second section between Monaco and La Turbie is formidable. Finally, it's the last few kilometres that are really tough. But at least the sea views are pleasant.
The third part is much easier. In particular, you cross the golf course of Her Majesty the Little Rock.
And here we are in front of this menacing sign.
What's the verdict? Nothing to see up there. But it's a hell of a climb nonetheless, taking us on a strange ride through the streets of Monaco and onto a path that nobody takes because it leads nowhere.
A curious experience! I don't regret it.
The descent to Cap d'Ail is quite exhilarating.

Ce Mont Agel, je me souviendrai de lui !
Tout d’abord, parce que j’ai trouvé le moyen de me perdre en chemin (j’ai poursuivi vers la Madonne de Gorbio…).
Ensuite, parce que cette montée est ultra variée et plutôt difficile aussi.
Puis, enfin, pour la frustration d’être bloqué par une barrière assez explicite.
Oui, le sommet du Mont Agel est un site militaire interdit.
La première partie se déroule dans les embouteillages monégasques. Les voitures de la principauté peuvent être belles mais elles n’empestent pas moins que celles des autres.
Le second tronçon entre Monaco et La Turbie est redoutable. Enfin, ce sont les derniers km qui sont vraiment sévères. Mais, au moins, les vues sur la mer sont agréables.
La troisième partie est nettement plus facile. On traverse notamment le golf de sa Majesté du petit Rocher.
Et puis, nous voilà figé devant cette pancarte menaçante.
Bilan ? Rien à voir là haut. Mais tout de même une sacrée ascension qui nous offre une drôle de balade dans les rues de Monaco pour nous conduire sur un chemin que personne n’emprunte puisqu’il ne va nulle part.
Expérience curieuse ! Je ne la regrette pas.
La descente vers Cap d’Ail est assez réjouissante.
