A nice steady climb just the way I like them. Start at the bottom of the town, at the edge of the fields. It climbs quite steeply straight away, and the panorama of the town of Autun opens up from the first few metres. A short passage through the narrow streets will then give way to the ascent along a road in good condition. The forest reveals itself, the conifers watch me tackle the passages at 11, 12, 13％... A few hairpin bends later, we reach the final stretch of the route. Straight ahead... read more

Straight ahead, the Liberation Cross.
The panorama glimpsed briefly from below becomes vast. The hills of the Morvan surround the pretty city of Autun, where you can see the Roman remains: theatre, temple, ramparts...
Once you've passed the orientation table, you'll want to head back down to take a closer look at these thousand-year-old stones.
A great climb that can be combined with a cultural and historical visit.
What could be better?

Une belle ascension régulière comme je les aime. Départ dans le bas de la ville, à la lisière des champs. Ça grimpe plutôt franchement tout de suite, et le panorama sur la ville d’Autun s’ouvre déjà, dès les premiers mètres.
Un petit passage dans des ruelles habitées va ensuite laisser place à l’ascension par une route dont le revêtement est en bon état. La forêt se dévoile, les conifères me regardent m’attaquer aux passages à 11, 12, 13％… Quelques lacets plus loin, on arrive sur la dernière portion du parcours.
Tout droit, la croix de la libération.
Le panorama aperçu en petit d’en bas devient vaste. Les reliefs du Morvan entourent la jolie cité d’Autun où l’on peut apercevoir les vestiges romains : théâtre, temple, remparts…
Une fois la table d’orientation parcourue, on a envie de redescendre pour aller voir de plus près ces pierres millénaires.
Une belle ascension qui peut se coupler à une visite culturelle et historique.
Quoi de mieux ?

A good, interesting climb with very uneven gradients. Some sections sting a little.
The two roads leading up to the gigantic Liberation Cross are fairly well surfaced.
Up there, the panorama of the Morvan nature park is quite pleasing.
The views of the town of Autun, its cathedral and its slag heaps are there for the taking from the start of the climb.
A very pleasant climb!

Une bonne et interessante montée dont les pourcentages sont très inégaux. Certains tronçons piquent un peu.
Les deux routes qui conduisent à la gigantesque croix de la libération sont plutôt bien revêtues.
Là-haut, le panorama sur le parc naturel du Morvan est assez réjouissant.
À noter que les points de vue sur la ville d’Autun, sa cathédrale, ses terrils s’offrent à nous dès le début de l’ascension.
Une ascension bien sympathique !
