One of the most difficult in the department. Well, it's still the Côte d'Or... But all the same, as the steepest part is in very poor condition, the high percentage is fully felt. Yes, definitely worth doing.... read more

Yes, definitely worth doing.

Une des plus difficiles du département. Bon, ça reste la Côte d’Or…
Mais tout de même, la partie la plus pentue étant en très mauvais état, le pourcentage élevé se ressent pleinement.
Oui, à faire sans aucun doute.
