A really pleasant pass, on a road that is in good condition and not very busy, with a really nice view that you have time and leisure to admire, as the gradient is fairly gentle and constant, without any excess. A little Morvan pass that I would recommend!... read more

Un col super agréable, sur une route en bon état et peu fréquentée, avec une vue qui est vraiment sympa et que l'on a le temps et le loisir d'admirer car la pente est assez douce et constante, sans aucun excès. Un petit col du Morvan que je recommande !
