Nice climb through a valley along a small river and past the hamlet of Tourgueille. When you reach the top, it is interesting to turn right and continue for several kilometres until you reach the gîte of the Aire de Côte. This direction is signposted. When we drove here in mid-June 2023, it was teeming with butterflies.... read more

Mooie beklimming door een vallei langs een riviertje en langsheen het gehucht Tourgueille. Wanneer je boven komt, is het interessant om rechtsaf te slaan en nog verschillende kilometers door te klmen tot aan de gîte van de Aire de Côte. Deze richting staat aangegeven met een wegwijzer. Toen we hier half juni 2023 reden, krioelde het er van de vlinders.

An easy walking climb with the higher percentages at the end. Unfortunately not many nice views as the climb goes through a forest. If it's hot though, lots of shade! 😉

Een gemakkelijke lopende klim met op het laatst de hogere percentages. Jammer genoeg niet veel mooie uitzichten omdat de klim door een bos loopt. Als het warm is wel veel schaduw! 😉
