The sign at the bottom of the chemin de Saint-Julien claims it to be a gradient of 33%, whatever that is in imperialspeak - probably 1 in 3. All I know is that it was steep enough for the car to experience a bit of wheelspin on a couple of occasions despite a very rough concrete surface. Might have been debris related but it only happened on the two very tight bends so possibly also axle deflection.
Glad to have done it though. Probably a unique A7 experience for France at least, unless someone else knows different? Have any of the NZ branch had a go at the number one? It looks awesome. Looks nearly as steep as the south bay cliff tram up to the Grand Hotel in Scarborough!
