This road takes you to Camping Le Clot de Jay, a great way to warm up your legs.
If you prefer running, this is a slightly more challenging section of a pleasant road, with only a slight incline.

The Col des Sagnes allows passage between the Durance and Grand Vallon valleys. The road is almost deserted. The only noise we hear comes from the Sasse river.
