Tips
The climb via St Michel is very regular (6% roughly). The road has a lot of gravel, which is not very annoying on the way up but which should make the descent rather tense ... From St Michel (a fountain is welcome) and for the last 2 km the slope is more pronounced. Very little shading on this side.
On the other side, the road surface is not bad, the road well shaded but the% are violent and the narrow road is very winding. In short, a hassle to get off because we tend to pick up speed quickly ...translated by
