300 metres thick!
Oh, I almost forgot my opening remark:
Cyclists in Boulogne sur Mer, it's all uphill! And it's no joke with the gradients!
It's short, but intense.
I chose to climb the hills in the town centre after 8.30pm. Traffic is almost non-existent.
Up there, the castle, the basilica and the gates of the ramparts. We're spoilt for choice.
300 mètres bien épais !
Ah, j’allais oublier mon propos liminaire :
Amis cyclistes, à Boulogne sur Mer, ça grimpe partout ! Et ça ne plaisante pas avec les pourcentages !
C’est court, mais intense.
J’ai choisi de grimper les côtes du centre-ville après 20h30. La circulation est quasi inexistante. Vraiment, je le recommande.
Là-haut, le château, la basilique, les portes des remparts. On est gâtés.

Gekend van het Frans kampioenschap als ook de Tour de France. In 2005 werd Pierrick Fédrigo hier kampioen en in 2011 haalde Sylvain Chavanel hier de Franse titel. Maar de klim is allicht bekender als de finish van de 3de etappe van de tour van 2012, waar Sagan in zijn tourdebut zijn 2de etappezege wist te behalen. De klim zelfs is ruim 300 meter een echte muur, maar wanneer de Porte de Gayole zelf in beeld komt, zwakken de percentages af. Daarna loopt de klim nog enkele honderde meters parallel aan de stadsmuur met gematigde percentages omhoog.
