At the end of the stairs there is asphalt again

Beautiful railway cycle path and beautiful viaduct.

Small street, no traffic

Anyone who wants to stop for a bite to eat should stop here. There are few alternatives. A Grand Café Creme and a generous sandwich for 8 euros.

view of the Pierres de Faux pass.

Maximum slopes of 6.2% in the Benas David pass, we didn't have to do the same. And then 17.5 km with a flat area which can make it seem shorter if you don't have the wind in your face. There are some passages that are even steeper. I consider it more difficult than Ventoux from Areau to Chalet Reynard 20km. But it is true, a very nice pass to do, for a good beginner like me aged... (Lol).. And a good preparation in comparison therefore for the Ventoux from Areau done the next day, in which it was necessary to have kept strength for the 6 deniers kilometres.
