Nice climb, but with lots of cars, especially in summer.

Montée sympa mais avec énormément de voitures, surtout l'été

A steady and pleasant climb, provided there aren't too many speeding cars.

Montée régulière et agréable, à condition qu’il n’y ait pas trop de voitures en mal de vitesse.

Nice climb with good surface. Lots of traffic but a very wide lane with a corridor for bikes. Done at 7.30pm with a bonus of sunshine.

Belle montée avec beau revêtement. Beaucoup de circulation mais voie très large avec couloir pour les vélos. Faite à 19h30 avec couche de soleil en prime

This climb, which I experienced during the Alpilles raid in October 24, should be enjoyable, but the pace of the race means I can't be really objective, as I didn't see anything... the setting is magnificent, through the Alpilles surrounded by olive trees.

Expérimentée lors du raid des Alpilles en octobre 24, cette montée devrait être sympathique mais le rythme de la course ne me permets pas d’être réellement objectif car je n’ai rien vu… le cadre est magnifique à travers les Alpilles entouré d’oliviers.

It's a shame there are so many cars, motorbikes, coaches etc. The road is very pretty and of good quality. The descent to St Rémy is great, almost no need to brake.

Dommage qu'il y a tant de voiture, moto, cars etc. La route est très jolie et de bonne qualité. La descente vers St Rémy est géniale quasi pas besoin de freiner.

Climb itself is quite ok, but the D5 is quite busy with cars.

Not registered on Climbfinder, but theVal D'Enfer climb on the D27 is more beautiful.
