Nice climb and smooth running on a good road surface with moderate traffic. Of course missing a cycle path, otherwise wouldn't be in France. Nowhere steep but slightly tougher than I suspected.... read more

Leuk klimmetje en vlot lopend op een goed wegdek met matig verkeer. Natuurlijk ontbreekt een fietspad, anders zou niet in Frankrijk zijn. Nergens steil maar wel iets zwaarder dan ik vermoedde.

The Croix de Millet is indeed a nice climb. Not very long or steep, but for the less experienced climber it is tough enough to break. Descending I found less because of the winding character, narrow road and many forest.

De Croix de Millet is inderdaad een mooie klim. Niet erg lang of steil, maar voor de minder ervaren klimmer is deze voldoende zwaar om op stuk te gaan. Afdalen vond ik minder vanwege het bochtige karakter, smalle weg en vele bos.

Dear,
This is a mistake. This col is not the "Col de la Croix de Rocles" but the Col de la Croix de Millet (from Rocher as suggested here on the map) or rather from Luth (small district 1.5km lower than Rocher).
The other "col de la croix de millet" starts from Jaujac.
I climb these cols regularly (have a husije there) and believe me it is not at all crowded even in summer.
The col de la croix de rocles is a nice wide track that starts from the foot of the "col de Meyrand" towards Rocles Joannas and Largentière.
Goodbye
Olivier

Beste,
Dit is een vergissing. Dit col is niet de "Col de la Croix de Rocles" maar de Col de la Croix de Millet (vanuit Rocher zoals hier op de map voorgesteld) of liever vanuit Luth (kleine deelgemeente 1.5km lager dan Rocher).
De andere "col de la croix de millet" vertrekt vanuit Jaujac.
Ik klim deze cols regelmatig (heb een husije daar) en geloof me het is helemaal niet druk zelf in de zomer.
De col de la croix de rocles is een mooie brede baan die vertrek van de voet van de "col de Meyrand" richting Rocles Joannas en Largentière.
Mvg
Olivier
