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!

The term "basilica," used above by Vincent Reboul, can have two different meanings for places of worship: + First, as an architectural style: In the Roman Empire, basilicas were secular buildings (market halls or courtrooms); the early Christian era partially adopted this architectural style and, for this purpose, also the term "basilica." + Second, "basilica minor" is an honorary title for special places of worship throughout the world (regardless of the aforementioned architectural style), which has been personally awarded by the Pope since the 18th century.

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 😱🫣

The old castle is now partially open to the public. It looks very defensive.

This chapel is so imposing in its dimensions and importance that it is known here as the Basilica. It is a marvel of 15th century architecture which features numerous gargoyles and a 70 meter high bell tower. All in pure Breton granite.
