From Beaurecueil, the Collet Blanc starts out as a quiet, almost innocent route. The first few pedal strokes follow one another without difficulty and you think you've found a gentle climb, ideal for warming up. But this impression is deceptive: in the middle, the slope changes and becomes a trap, requiring strong legs and a deeper breath. Fortunately, the perfect surface allows you to concentrate fully on your effort, without fearing the pitfalls of the road. There is almost total silence,... read more

From Beaurecueil, the Collet Blanc starts out as a quiet, almost innocent route. The first few pedal strokes follow one another without difficulty and you think you've found a gentle climb, ideal for warming up. But this impression is deceptive: in the middle, the slope changes and becomes a trap, requiring strong legs and a deeper breath. Fortunately, the perfect surface allows you to concentrate fully on your effort, without fearing the pitfalls of the road. There is almost total silence, with only a few breaths and birdsong to punctuate the climb, as traffic is scarce, as if this road were reserved for cyclists. And then, after the hardest part, the magic happens: Sainte-Victoire emerges, imposing and luminous, like a reward offered to those who have had the courage to climb. It's a short climb, but one that's full of character, where effort meets contemplation, and from which you'll come away wanting to return.

Depuis Beaurecueil, le Collet Blanc se présente d’abord comme une route tranquille, presque innocente. Les premiers coups de pédale s’enchaînent sans difficulté et l’on croit avoir trouvé une montée douce, idéale pour s’échauffer. Mais cette impression est trompeuse : au milieu, la pente change de visage et se fait piégeuse, exigeant des jambes solides et un souffle plus profond. Heureusement, le revêtement parfait permet de se concentrer pleinement sur l’effort, sans craindre les pièges de la route. Le silence est presque total, seules quelques respirations et le chant des oiseaux viennent rythmer l’ascension, car la circulation est rare, comme si cette route était réservée aux cyclistes. Et puis, après avoir franchi le passage le plus dur, la magie opère : la Sainte-Victoire surgit, imposante et lumineuse, comme une récompense offerte à ceux qui ont eu le courage de grimper. Une montée courte, mais pleine de caractère, où l’effort se mêle à la contemplation, et dont on redescend avec l’envie d’y retourner.

This irregular ascent is made on a little frequented road and allows to discover at the bend of a curve the magnificent southern slope of the Sainte-Victoire mountain, emblematic summit of the region. Beautiful photos to be taken with the reddish earth in the foreground...
The only real difficulty of this ascent lies in the double lace that precedes the arrival at the village of Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon: the slope there exceeds 9 % for a few hundred meters.
Personally I find this climb more pleasant than the one from the Col des Portes via the Col de Claps, on the D10 north of the Mont Sainte-Victoire.

Cette montée irrégulière se fait sur une route peu fréquentée et permet de découvrir au détour d'un virage le magnifique versant sud de la montagne Sainte-Victoire, emblématique sommet de la région. De belles photos à faire avec à l'avant-plan des terres rougeâtres ...
La seule véritable difficulté de cette ascension réside dans le double lacet qui précède l'arrivée au village de Saint-Antonin-sur-Bayon : la pente y dépasse les 9 % pendant quelques centaines de mètres.
Personnellement je trouve cette ascension plus agréable que celle du col des Portes via le col de Claps, sur la D10 au nord de la montagne Sainte-Victoire.
