One of the many difficult climbs out of Boulogne-sur-Mer. It goes immediately steep up between the houses of the rue du Chanoine Pillons. After that the road flattens and it even goes down for a while. As soon as it enters the rue Fontaine du Bourreau, the road starts going up again, this time through the fields. A look back over our shoulders shows us that we're now above Boulogne. Of course with the Basilica of the Notre-Dame-de-l'Immaculée-Conception towering over the city. The las... read more

My Boulogne preamble!
Cyclists in Boulogne sur Mer, it's all uphill! And it's no joke with the gradients!
Don't underestimate this climb. There are two passages of over 10%.
You start out in an urban environment, continue through suburban housing estates and end up in the countryside. The cows are there too. A serious climb that unfortunately offers nothing very exceptional to the eye.

Mon préambule boulonnais !
Amis cyclistes, à Boulogne sur Mer, ça grimpe partout ! Et ça ne plaisante pas souvent avec les pourcentages !
Ne pas sous estimer cette montée. Les deux passages à plus de 10% sont bien présents.
On démarre en milieu urbain, on poursuit en banlieue pavillonnaire et on finit dans la campagne. Les vaches aussi sont là. Une montée sérieuse qui hélas n’offre rien de bien exceptionnel à l’œil.

One of the many difficult climbs out of Boulogne-sur-Mer. It goes immediately steep up between the houses of the rue du Chanoine Pillons. After that the road flattens and it even goes down for a while. As soon as it enters the rue Fontaine du Bourreau, the road starts going up again, this time through the fields.

The last meters of the climb are the most difficult.

Één van de vele lastige klimmetjes vanuit Boulogne-sur-Mer. Het gaat gelijk steil omhoog tussen de huizen van de rue du Chanoine Pillons. Daarna vlakt het af en gaat het zelfs even omlaag. Vanaf het moment dat de rue Fontaine du Bourreau is ingeslagen, begint het weer steil omhoog te gaan, ditmaal door de velden. Een blik achterom over de schouders laat zien dat je inmiddels boven Boulogne bent uitgestegen. Uiteraard met de Basiliek van de Notre-Dame-de-l'Immaculée-Conception boven de stad uitstekend. De laatste meters van de klim zijn de lastigste.
