A nice climb starting from the beautiful town of Salon de Provence towardsAurons. The road surface is very good and level.
I rode my mountain bike up the whole climb with a smooth tret on the big plateau.
More fun and less crowded than expected.
Once at the top in Aurons you can go in different directions.
