Probably the steepest climb in the Vexin Normand sector... A real wall. What's more, La Roche Guyon is a very pretty village, well worth a visit.... read more

So, the Roche Guyon climb, first of all I'd say it's the hardest climb on the Ile de France. It's really very difficult: the footing is fairly straightforward, but as soon as you reach the first bend it gets a lot tougher, as you hit 20％. Then you get into the straight. If you're already dead by then, the rest is going to be a real ordeal: you literally have to fight to reach the bridge. And then you're done. What's more, this jewel is located in one of the prettiest areas of the Ile de France: it's well worth the diversions.

The only real wall in Ile de France! So, yes, this very short climb is really worth doing when you are in the Paris region. It's short but very steep and therefore really intense. I like this type of effort.
