Nice climb, never really difficult. At the top, indeed, stunning views and, if you're unlucky, a thick mistral. But oh well, it is nice cycling without being too steep. Definitely do it once, if only because of Tim Krabbé's The Runner.

Mooie beklimming, nooit echt moeilijk. Bovenop inderdaad een schitterend uitzicht en als je pech hebt een dikke mistral. Maar ach, het is mooi fietsen zonder dat het al te steil is. Zeker een keer doen, al was het maar vanwege De Renner van Tim Krabbé.

Simply a magnificent lap. And you wouldn't expect to cycle through such natural beauty when you read the book of Krabbé. In Trèves you can fill your water bottle at the fountain. The climb from this side to the Mont Aigoual is the calmest of all.
of sides. And nowhere meanly steep. If you get to the real top, which is just over 1 km further up, then you will be treated to a magnificent view. From the coast to Mont Ventoux.

Ronduit een schitterende ronde. En niet verwacht dat je door zulk natuurschoon fietst als je het boekje van Krabbé leest. In Trèves kun je bij de fontein je bidon vullen. De klim vanaf deze kant naar de Mont Aigoual is sowieso de rustigste
van zijdes. En nergens gemeen steil. Als je de echte top meepikt, dat is iets meer dan 1 km verder naar boven, dan word je getrakteerd op een magnifiek uitzicht. Van de kust tot de Mont Ventoux.
