This climb is often used by cycling races, particularly the Tour de France. A fairly long climb (2.2 km) with a very steep first section. Average gradient of 6.55% with a maximum of 15%. https://profils.cols-cyclisme.com/2811.svg

In view of this Marian shrine, a "Chapelle Notre Dame," I would like to offer the viewer a brief reflection from the important French order founder and Doctor of the Church, Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1090 to 1153). He recommended at the time: "In danger, in doubt, in difficulties, think of Mary, invoke Mary. Do not let her name leave your lips, never let it leave your heart. (...) Under her protection, you have nothing to fear; if she goes before you, you will not tire; if she grants you her favor, you will reach your goal."

Don’t attack too hard at the start!

Well-known to Breton cyclists, the Côte de Mûr-de-Bretagne has become a classic of the Tour de France, with its characteristic straight climb. Although short, it can get your thighs burning with more than 500 meters at over 10% and a peak at over 13%.

Caution: Be careful when descending; the descent can be perilous due to the slope; you can quickly get carried away by the speed. Beware of the speed and crosswind combination with high-profile wheels 😱🫣

Superb view of Lake Guerledan from the treetop adventure course

Guerledan Dam possibility of going to the foot by road to admire this impressive building. On the right a small path leads up to lake level, the view is superb.

This curved section of the famous Nantes-Brest canal lets you discover the richness of the banks of the Blavet, which flows into the Lorient estuary in Morbihan. You can see that its bed is mainly artificial, and that its course is regulated by an ingenious system of locks. Slightly to the north of Mûr-de-Bretagne, the Guerlédan dam abruptly interrupts its course, thus giving birth to the largest artificial lake in Brittany, the Lac de Guerlédan. The gravelly surface is pleasant for both touring bikes, gravel and even road bikes. I am personally charmed by the melody of the tires on the gravel, so this portion is conducive to meditation and relaxation for me. A real moment of vacation!
