Clearly worth the effort. There are several sections with views everywhere, including a river crossing. Watch out for blind bends on the descent.

Ça vaut clairement le coup. En plusieurs partie avec des vues partout et notamment la traversée d’une rivière. Attention dans la descente aux virages sans visibilité.
