This little-used climb is only gravel for the last 100 metres. Before that it's tarmac, and it's in poor condition with a good number of potholes in places, but it's still quite accessible... as long as you go uphill. It's best to avoid it on the way down! There are some fine views of the surrounding area towards the end of the climb.... read more

Cette côte peu fréquentée n'est aujourd'hui en «gravel» que sur ses 100 derniers mètres. Auparavant elle est «en dur», effectivement en mauvais état dans sa première moitié avec un bon paquet de nids-de poule à certains endroits, mais elle reste tout à fait praticable… tant qu'on la parcourt en montée. Il vaut mieux l'éviter en descente ! De beaux points de vue sur les environs se dégagent vers la fin de l'ascension.
