A climb with relatively gentle gradients, with the 2025 French championships encouragement tags adding a nice touch to the climb. The chapel and mills at the top add interest to the climb on a very busy road (route de Cholet).

Montée avec des pourcentages relativement faibles, les tags d'encouragements des championnats de france 2025 ajoutent un côté sympa à l'ascention. La chapelle et les moulins en haut ajoutent de l'intérêt à l'ascention sur une route très passagère (route de Cholet)

It's a must for Les Herbiers! The Maha side is wilder and quieter. The Mont Des Alouettes can be quite windy, so be careful on the descent.

C’est le passage obligatoire Aux Herbiers! Le versant côté Maha est plus sauvage et plus calme. Le Mont Des Alouettes peut être assez venteux mieux vaut être prudent lors de la descente.
