A superb road where you'll feel like you're alone in the world. Traffic is almost non-existent and the surface is very good. The last four kilometres are a little steeper, but the first part is very smooth. An easy pass takes you to l'Île-Rousse.... read more

Une superbe route où vous aurez l'impression d'être seul au monde. Circulation quasi inexistante, très bon revêtement. Les quatre derniers kilomètres sont un peu plus raides, mais la première partie est très roulante. Un col sans difficulté qui vous permet d'accéder à l'Île-Rousse
