Little traffic, great scenery.
Not particularly challenging in terms of gradients.
Beautiful descent to Gemenos.

Ascent 7 June 2018 in the rain in cycle touring mode! Nice route and the Col de l'Espigoulier is famous. Often on the route of the Tour de la Provence (2021). A pass to do! On strava I added a segment for this climb.
