We come to a large, busy traffic circle. This road is nice at first, in good condition, with a hairpin, but as you get closer to the summit, the road gets worse and worse.

On arrive à un gros rond-point très fréquenté. Cette route est sympa au début, en bon état, avec une épingle, puis en se rapprochant du sommet, la route est de plus en plus mauvaise.

The footing is very nice: there are two hairpins and the gradients aren't too difficult, so they're affordable. The road is in good condition. However, the closer you get to the summit, the more holes there are in the road. The road gets narrower and narrower and it's difficult to pass if there's a car coming from the opposite direction, especially as there's a lot of traffic in the street.

Le pied est très sympa: il y a deux épingles et les pourcentages sont pas très difficile, donc abordables. La route y est en bon état. Par contre, plus on se rapproche du sommet, plus il y a des trous dans la route. La route devient de plus en plus étroite et il est difficile de passer si une voiture vient d'en face surtout qu'il y a beaucoup de circulation dans la rue.
