Nice steep cobbled climb; not as steep as the parallel rue de la Seche, but almost as hard because of the lopsided cobblestone surface. Once you reach a little church, the climb flattens out, but if you then seamlessly keep to the left, the climb turns out to continue crescendo again through bushes that seem to have no end. One of the most beautiful climbs in the area, as far as I'm concerned!... read more

Mooie steile kasseienklim; niet so steil als de parallel gelegen rue de la Seche, maar vanwege het schots en scheef liggende kasseiendek bijna net zo zwaar. Eenmaal bij een kerkje vlakt de klim af, maar als je dan naad links aanhoudt blijkt de klim weer crescendo door te gaan door een bossages waar geen eind aan lijkt te komen. Een van de mooiste klimmetjes in de buurt, wat mij betreft!
