A fairly demanding climb on a flawless road.
In the end, it's mainly the last 4 kilometres that are difficult, particularly because of the irregularity of the gradients.
Still, the most beautiful scenery is the view of Entrevaux and the Vauban citadel at the start of the climb... It's a shame!
The town hall in Villevieille is picturesque.
There are toilets and a water tap to the left of the stairs.
Afterwards, don't forget to try your hand at the Col du Buis.
Une montée assez exigeante sur une route irréprochable.
Enfin, ce sont surtout les 4 derniers kilomètres qui sont difficiles notamment en raison de l’irrégularité des pourcentages.
Reste que le plus beau paysage est la vue sur Entrevaux et la citadelle de Vauban au début de l’ascension…
Dommage !
La mairie de Villevieille est pittoresque.
À noter, des toilettes et un robinet d’eau à gauche de l’escalier.
Ensuite, n’oubliez pas d’aller vous frotter au col du Buis.
The start from Entrevaux is very tough with a high percentage. There is a short break at Bayon with even a little bit of downhill before the big effort from the Ribière bridge (very nasty recovery after the right turn) to the finish.
The road is narrow and there is generally little visibility. Downhill motorists often tend to drive in the middle or even to the left and quite fast. Please be careful!
Le démarrage depuis Entrevaux est très costaud avec un fort pourcentage. Petit répis à Bayon avec même un peu de descente avant le gros effort à partir du pont de la Ribière (reprise très méchante après le virage à droite) jusqu'à l'arrivée.
La route est étroite et on a généralement peu de visibilité. Les automobilistes qui descendent ont souvent tendance à rouler au milieu voire à gauche et assez vite. Soyez prudents !
