The climb out of the port of Cherbourg on the English Channel heading up into the Normandy countryside isn't an easy one, but is well worth it!
The Tour de France hosted their second stage here in 2016, where Cherbourg was the finishing town. World-class riders summited this hillside, albeit on the main road, rather than this quieter lane that forms part of the Velomaritime route, and the Tour de Manche.
