A few small areas where you can put your hands (far from the climbing) which are pleasant and varied, and as a bonus there are blackberries all along the way 👌

Very pretty, quite rolling, accessible to all ages and all levels! Be careful during hot weather, bring something to drink, there is no water source nearby!

Any self-respecting cyclist must, after reaching the Col de l'Oeillon, continue to the Crêt de l'Oeillon, the true summit and final objective of this climb!
