A pleasant climb, as soon as you enter the forest turn right onto the steep road (500m at around 10％). The road then runs smoothly and without any major difficulties. Only 1 car passed on the way up on the road, which is still a forest road and therefore not very well maintained but still pleasant to drive on.... read more

A pleasant climb, as soon as you enter the forest turn right onto the steep road (500m at around 10％). The road then runs smoothly and without any major difficulties. Only 1 car passed on the way up on the road, which is still a forest road and therefore not very well maintained but still pleasant to drive on.

Montée agréable, dès l'entrée en forêt, tourner à droite sur la route raide (500m aux alentours des 10％). Ensuite la route est roulante et sans grande difficulté. 1seule voiture croisée lors de l'ascension sur la route qui reste une route forestière, donc pas très bien entretenue mais quand même agréable à rouler

If you take this very small road, be sure to turn right after 1km at the hairpin bend. There are no signs to show you where to go next.
If you follow the sign "voie romaine", straight ahead, you will find yourself (as I did :) on a forest road that leads nowhere, apart from the footpaths...

Si vous vous lancez dans cette toute petite route, ne manquez pas de tourner à droite après 1km au virage en tête d'épingle. Aucun panneau n'indique la suite.
Si vous suivez l'indication "voie romaine", tout droit, vous vous retrouverez (comme moi :; ) sur une route forestière qui n'aboutit nulle part, si ce n'est dans des chemins de randonnée...
