Just after passing near Notre-Dame de la Ménour, a sanctuary dating from the 12th century, the road takes the form of a very beautiful serpentine with many hairpin bends. It is a pure delight for cyclists.

Do not hesitate before you start, to make a stop at the chapel which dominates from a height of 780 meters the Gorges du Piaon.

Spectacular views of the serpentines and the Bevera. Beautiful chapel in an unbeatable location. Take a breather here - to the Col de Turini it really starts after Moulinet.
