A nice climb away from the Meuse and up onto the plateau. The road is quite wide and not too busy. The steepest part is at the beginning, but the slope is continuous all the way up!... read more

A nice climb away from the Meuse and up onto the plateau. The road is quite wide and not too busy. The steepest part is at the beginning, but the slope is continuous all the way up!

une belle montée qui permet de s'éloigner de la Meuse et de commencer à remonter sur le plateau. La route est bien large et assez peu fréquentée. La partie la plus raide est située au début, mais la pente est continue jusqu'en haut !

Wide road with some longer stretches that seem to be false flat! Indeed, there is little traffic, but the ones that pass by press firmly on the accelerator. You will soon ask yourself why you are going so slow, because this climb is not that hard, is it? If you like a slow climb, this is definitely for you, and also the descent towards Évrehailles is a pleasure on the hills covered with meadows and crops, that's why I give it an extra star!

Brede weg met enkele langere stroken die wel vals plat lijken! Er passeert inderdaad weinig verkeer, maar wat er langs je doorrijd druk het gaspedaal wel stevig in. Zo vraag je jezelf al snel af waarom je zo traag gaat want zo zwaar is deze klim toch niet? Als je houdt van tempo-klimmen is dit beslist zeker iets voor jou, en ook de afzink richting Évrehailles mag er zijn, dat is genieten op de glooiende met weiden en gewassen bestreken heuvels, daarom krijgt ie van mij een extra ster!

Very nice and quiet hill. After swallowing the wall at 17％ max from the start, all you have to do is digest the long straight ahead.

Très chouette côte au calme. Après avoir avalé le mur à 17％ max du début, il ne vous reste plus qu'à digérer la longue ligne droite qui se dresse devant vous.
