A hill that will soon be forgotten. All along the climb, hospitals and clinics of all kinds. At the very top, after the beauty clinic, the Rimiez retirement home awaits you. The road is clean and busy. On the way, the old building of the Nice water department. Sorry, that's all I can do...

A hill that will soon be forgotten. All along the climb, hospitals and clinics of all kinds. At the very top, after the beauty clinic, the Rimiez retirement home awaits you. The road is clean and busy. On the way, the old building of the Nice water department. Sorry, that's all I can do...

So, it turns out that I've mixed up my two comments on these two climbs that have the same ending ("Saint Michel depuis Nice" and "Côte de Rimiez").
"La route des hôpitaux" is more on the Saint Michel side.
Well, if it's not to go to Falicon to climb Mont Chauve, there are other more exciting climbs all around.

Une côte que l’on oubliera vite. 
Tout le long de l’ascension, des hôpitaux, des cliniques de tout genre. Tout en haut, après la clinique d’esthétique, la maison de retraite de Rimiez vous attend. 
La route est propre, plutôt fréquentée. 
Sur le chemin, l’ancienne bâtisse du service des eaux de Nice. Désolé, c’est tout ce que je peux faire…

Alors, il s’avère que j’ai interverti mes deux commentaires de ces deux ascensions dont la fin est commune (« Saint Michel depuis Nice » et « Côte de Rimiez »).
« La route des hôpitaux », c’est plutôt le versant Saint Michel.
Bon, si ce n’est pour aller à Falicon pour grimper le Mont Chauve, il existe partout autour d’autres ascensions plus excitantes.
Quelques photos pour décrire l’ambiance de Rimiez…
