I find this climb hard because it gets really steep in the bends. Nice and wide road with the longer the better the views. Don't forget to look at the back right a few times.... read more

I find this climb hard because it gets really steep in the bends. Nice and wide road with the longer the better the views. Don't forget to look at the back right a few times.

Ik vind deze klim zwaar omdat het in de bochten soms wel echt steil wordt. Mooie en brede weg met hoe langer hoe mooiere uitzichten. Vergeet zeker niet een paar keer rechts achter te kijken.

My favorite access to the stations of Prapoutel and Pipay, because of its regularity. Crossing the pleasant village of Les Adrets on the way up. Historically, it is the birthplace of one of the most sinister figures of the French Wars of Religion in the 16th century: François de Beaumont, Baron des Adrets, who was responsible for a large number of mass murders.

Mon accès favori aux stations de Prapoutel et Pipay, en raison de son assez grande régularité. Traversée de l'agréable village des Adrets en cours d'ascension. D'un point de vue historique, c'est le lieu de naissance d'une des plus sinistres figures des guerres de religion françaises du 16e siècle : François de Beaumont, baron des Adrets, responsable d'un grand nombre de tueries de masse.
