3.0 by CromagnonThis is an automatic translation, the original language is: French.I preferred the other side, which is much more beautiful, but I found it a little more demanding. On this side, you never get the feeling that you're leaving the town, as there are so many houses along the way. There are a few tough sections, but the climb is very short. The road is good.

Like Cromagnon, I prefer the other side, which I also find more beautiful. But this side does have one advantage for those who enjoy tough slopes: a very steep section shortly before reaching the hamlet of Pressembois.
Comme Cromagnon, je préfère l'autre versant, que je trouve également plus beau. Mais ce versant-ci a un atout pour les amateurs de pentes coriaces : un passage très raide peu peu avant d'arriver au hameau de Pressembois.

J’ai préféré l’autre versant qui est nettement plus beau, mais celui ci m’a semblé un peu plus exigeant. De ce côté, on n’a jamais le sentiment de sortir de la ville, tant de nombreuses maisons jalonnent le parcours.
Quelques parties sévères mais comme l’ascension est très courte, tout va bien. La route est bonne. La descente est formidable.
