It's a climb that I really enjoy doing, there's not too much car traffic, we're on pretty little country roads with a fairly even surface, we've got changes of gradient all the way, especially after Marols, which is a magnificent little artists' village for those who want to stop off, and finally we arrive in Montarcher, a truly magnificent village.... read more

C'est vraiment une montée que j'aime faire, il n'y a pas trop de trafic auto, on navigue sur de jolies petites routes de campagne avec un revêtement assez régulier, on a tout du long des changements de pente notamment après Marols qui est un magnifique petit village d'artistes pour ceux qui veulent faire une halte et enfin on arrive sur Montarcher, village vraiment magnifique.
