A fairly straightforward climb, with beautiful bocage landscapes on the left after crossing the roundabout. At the top, there is no view of the Puy du Fou park, but there are plenty of windmills along the roadside. Having done the climb in February, I didn't come across any cars, but in busy periods at the park it's probably less interesting.... read more

A fairly straightforward climb, with beautiful bocage landscapes on the left after crossing the roundabout. At the top, there is no view of the Puy du Fou park, but there are plenty of windmills along the roadside. Having done the climb in February, I didn't come across any cars, but in busy periods at the park it's probably less interesting.

Montée assez simple avec de très beaux paysages bocagers sur la gauche après avoir traversé le rond point. En haut, pas de vue sur le parc du Puy du Fou mais beaucoup de moulins sont présents sur le bord de la route. Ayant fait l'ascension en février je n'ai pas rencontré de voitures mais en période de forte affluence au parc c'est probablement moins intéressant
