This road bike climb leads mostly along in the forest. There isn't a lot of traffic. If you don't want to come across any cars, you have to drive on Mondays. On this day the upper part of the street is closed to cars and motorcycles.

Lighthouse of the Provençal hinterland, the Lure mountain, so dear to Jean Giono, is the discreet little sister of Mont Ventoux and culminates at 1826 meters. It is a great playground for lovers of outdoor activities.

The climb is a regular feature on the program of the Paris-Nice cycling races or the Tour de Provence. On the south side, departing from Saint-Étienne-les-Orgues, you will have to face 1082 meters of elevation over a distance of 18 kilometers, i.e. an average gradient of 6% with a fairly regular climb. On the north side, corresponding to this segment, the road is longer and the climb seems less steep on paper when considered as a whole. However, it is characterized by a strong irregularity, and offers steeper passages that can climb up to 10% slope.
