In the first part not the prettiest climb with still a lot of buildings, but afterwards it does get crisper and quieter. The ascent past Saignon (see other ascent not much further) is prettier, but it is steeper if you want to climb briskly.... read more

In the first part not the prettiest climb with still a lot of buildings, but afterwards it does get crisper and quieter. The ascent past Saignon (see other ascent not much further) is prettier, but it is steeper if you want to climb briskly.

In het eerste deel niet de mooiste beklimming met nog veel bebouwing, maar nadien wordt het wel knapper en rustiger. De beklimming langs Saignon (zie andere beklimming niet veel verder) is mooier, maar deze is wel steiler als je stevig wil klimmen.
