Very short but steep.

Follow the route presented here, it passes from the start by the Chemin du Châtelet and then the Chemin des Châtaigniers where it is sometimes impossible to get off the bike.

Très courte mais bien pentue.
De nombreuses variantes existes pour monter là haut.
Bien suivre le tracé présenté ici, il passe dès le départ par le chemin du Châtelet puis ensuite celui des Châtaigniers où il est parfois impossible de se lever du vélo.
A noter qu'il est possible de continuer encore sur 200-300 M pour profiter des paysages.
