A beautiful climb with steadily increasing intensity. If you attack the wall with humility, you can climb it without difficulty. For my part, I take it after having climbed one or two hills beforehand on my outings.... read more

A beautiful climb with steadily increasing intensity. If you attack the wall with humility, you can climb it without difficulty. For my part, I take it after having climbed one or two hills beforehand on my outings.

Une belle montée ou l'intensité augmente régulièrement. Si on attaque le mur avec humilité on l'a grimpe sans difficulté. Pour ma part je la prends après avoir grimpé une ou deux côtes avant lors de mes sorties

Now that's a really intense little wall!
In reality, it's only difficult for 500 metres. But it's very painful and you get to the top out of breath having pulled on your handlebars.
I've seen some of the Tour riders go through it too. It cheers you up.
Not much traffic. Worry-free surface.
The view of the cathedral is pretty nice, even though it's a bit far.
A must in Rouen.
Definitely worth doing.

Voilà un vrai bon petit mur bien intense !
En réalité, elle n’est difficile que sur 500 mètres. Mais, elle est bien douloureuse et on arrive là haut essoufflé en ayant tiré sur le cintre.
J’ai vu certains coureurs du Tour en baver aussi. Ça remonte le moral.
Peu de circulation. Revêtement sans souci. La vue sur la cathédrale est plutôt chouette bien que l’on soit un peu loin.
Un must à Rouen.
A faire, pas de doute.

I've just done it, Wow, it's horrible. Climbing at 14 and 15％ average, it's unfeasible with a normal bike and normal condition... I had to stop. Very, very hard. Short, it's true, but the climb and the last 200 metres are insane.

Je viens de la faire, Wow, c'est horrible. La montée à 14 et 15％ de moyenne, c'est infaisable avec un vélo normal et une condition normale... Obligé de s'arrêter. Très très dur. Court c'est vrai mais la montée et les derniers 200 mètres sont d'un niveau démentiel. Attention ce n'est pas une 4eme catégorie, c'est une troisième !

The short, difficult climb through the old houses and trees is spectacular. As you climb, the magnificent cathedral of Rouen looms up behind you. Tadej and Jonas's speed in the hardest section was around 25 km/h on stage 4 of the Tour 2025. So, expect to be slower. (I confess: this review was made in front of the TV).
