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.

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.
