It's not a new climb for me, as I did it thirty years ago... Back then the final part was gravel, if I remember correctly. However, I remember perfectly well the steepness of the slope, so the percentages shown here come as no surprise.
The tower towers impressively over the whole valley, and I imagine that it must have been used as an observation tower in ancient times.
Une montée qui ne me rajeunit pas, puisque je l'ai effectuée il y a bien trente ans… À l'époque la partie finale était en gravier, si je me souviens bien. Je me souviens par contre parfaitement de la dureté de la pente, et les pourcentages indiqués ici ne me surprennent donc pas.
La tour dominant de façon impressionnante toute la vallée, j'imagine qu'elle devait servir de tour de guet d'observation dans les temps anciens.
