A beautiful climb, especially when closed to motorbikes and cars, which leads up to Mont Verdun.

Une très belle montée, notamment lorsqu’elle est fermée aux motos et voitures, qui permet d’accéder au mont Verdun.

Some very nice twists and turns that quickly give you a superb view of Lyon and the Rhône valley. Regularly closed to cars, which is very much appreciated. A classic of the Monts d'Or, a must-do if you're in the area.

Très beaux lacets qui offrent rapidement une vue superbe sur Lyon et la vallée du Rhône. Régulièrement fermée aux voitures ce qui est très appréciable. Un classique des Monts d’Or, à faire si dans les parages
