This segment is misleading: I prefer to speak of the climb to Brantes followed by the false flat to the Col de Fontaube.
The Brantes climb is 1.84km at an average of 6.8％. It's got good percentages, it's pretty steady, and the ride through the village of Brantes is absolutely magnificent! What's more, the whole climb has just been resurfaced, so it's a pleasure to ride!
At the top, the départementale leads to the Col des Aires on the right, or to the Col de Fontaube on the left. Here, the gradient is very gentle. The view of the Ventoux is breathtaking, before you enjoy the tortuous descent to the Col de Fontaube with great care!
Ce segment est trompeur : je préfère parler de la montée de Brantes suivie du faux-plat vers le col de Fontaube.
La montée de Brantes fait 1,84km à 6,8％ de moyenne. Il y a de bons pourcentages, c'est assez régulier, et la traversée du village de Brantes est absolument magnifique ! En plus il viennent de regoudronner toute la montée, c'est un plaisir à monter !
En haut, la départementale mène au col des Aires, à droite, ou au col de Fontaube, à gauche. Là, les pourcentages sont très faibles. La vue sur le Ventoux est imprenable, avant de se faire plaisir, tout en prudence, dans la descente tortueuse du col de Fontaube !

Beklommen op 1 juli 2021 met de fietsclub (op vakantie). Leuke klim in mooie omgeving. Uitzicht (ook op de Mont Ventoux) prachtig. Mooi dal en leuk dorpje. Ook een bezoek waard. Op de col wat wegwerkzaamheden dus wat stoffig, maar toch enorm genoten.
Beautiful climb! Especially hard in the beginning of the climb, to and through the village of Brantes. Then it remains a little less steep. There you get a beautiful view of the 'back' of Mont Ventoux.
Prachtig beklimming! Vooral zwaar in het begin van de klim, naar en door het dorpje Brantes. Daarna blijft het nog even minder stijl doorlopen. Daar krijg je wel een prachtig zicht op de 'achterkant' van de Mont Ventoux voorgeschoteld.
