Here, we've invented the "urban pass". An urbanised pass? For 7 km, there are nothing but houses on both sides. With the exception of the cute little rock that lines the pass, this slope is rather boring. The road is of good quality. But I won't be left with any lasting images.... read more

Ici, on a inventé le « col urbain ». Le col urbanisé ? Pendant ces 7 km, il n’y a que des maisons à droite comme à gauche.
Petites maisons individuelles et voitures bien rangées et haies vertes pour mieux se cacher.
A l’exception du mignon petit rocher qui garnit le col, ce versant est plutôt ennuyeux. La route est de belle qualité.
Mais aucune image ne me restera.
