Great climb! Especially the second part after the junction with the col de Murs between the rocks is beautiful. Some traffic but not disturbing.

Prachtige klim! vooral het tweede deel na de splitsing met de col de Murs tussen de rotsen is prachtig. Wel wat verkeer maar niet storend.

Very nice climb, up to the junction with the. col de Murs not very special but then some nice between the rocks. Some traffic from cars's who also want to go to Gordes but don't let that stop you. If you are here for a week on the Ventoux I would definitely take this one. Other side is also top.

Zeer mooie klim, tot de splitsing met de. col de Murs niet zeer speciaal maar daarna enig mooi tussen de rotsen door. Wel wat verkeer van auto's die ook naar Gordes willen maar laat je daardoor niet tegenhouden. Ben je hier voor een weekje aan de Ventoux zou ik deze zeker meenemen. Andere kant is ook top.

The 7km climb is in two parts. The surface is good, and the second part is very pleasant in a small valley on the edge of a cliff.

La montée totale de 7km se fait en deux parties. Le revêtement est bon, la deuxième partie est très sympathique dans un petit vallon et à fleur de falaise.

A pleasant climb on a beautiful road with little traffic (February). The descent takes in Senanque Abbey, followed by a one-kilometre climb before dropping back down to Gordes.

Montée agréable, belle route peu fréquentée ( février). La descente passe par l'abbaye de Senanque suivie par une côte d'un kilomètres avant de replonger sur Gordes.

Not too difficult climb towards the beautiful (but busy Gordes), the road itself is not busy and first runs through the typical Provencal landscape. Halfway right (left the col de Murs) up where you have on the right side a beautiful view towards the Rhone. After this the road meanders through a Gorge. After the gorge the road flattens a bit. At the top you have to turn left (because of a one-way street) direction Murs/Gordes.

Niet al te moeilijke klim richting het schitterende (maar drukke Gordes) , de weg zelf is niet druk en loopt eerst een stuk door de typisch Provençaals landschap. Halverwege rechtsaf (linksaf de col de Murs) naar boven waar je aan de rechterkant een schitterend uitzicht richting de Rhône hebt. Hierna slingert de weg een stuk door een Gorge (kloof). Na de kloof vlakt het wat af. Boven op verplicht linksaf (ivm eenrichtingsweg) richting Murs/Gordes.
