Very nice climb through mostly forest. And with hot weather, that's very nice. Also pretty quiet and excellent tarmac.

Hele mooie klim door vooral bos. En met warm weer is dat erg prettig. Ook behoorlijk rustig en prima asfalt.

The climb up the Gorges du Bronze is incredible. The tarmac is like a billiard table and the climb takes place in the forest sheltered from the sun, but it's 9-10 ％ average gradient except for the last kilometre, which puts the climb at 8.1 average, which is misleading.

La montée dans les Gorges du Bronze est incroyable. Le macadam est un vrai billard et la montée se fait dans la forêt à l'abri du soleil, par contre c'est du 9-10 ％ de pente moyenne sauf le dernier km ce qui fait passer l'ascension à 8,1 de moyenne ce qui est trompeur.

Zeer mooie en doenbare klim door een smalle vallei met veel bomen. Het is hier rustig waardoor je extra van de omgeving kan genieten. De klim vlakt af naar het einde toe. Aanrader!
