La route n’est pas dans un état irréprochable mais elle est absolument praticable avec un vélo de route. Sans difficulté aucune.
Par contre, si vous cherchez à visiter un nouveau château, vous serez déçu. Ici, c’est un village vivant (qui annonce la couleur. Voir photo) mais pour les pierres médiévales, passez votre chemin.
La descente avec vue sur Les Orres est splendide.
