51ème Course de Côte d'Abreschviller-St Quirin 2023

Along the climb after the start, one of the first views the spectators get is the cars coming towards them along a straight into the tight hairpin. 


The Course de Côte d'Abreschviller-St Quirin, in the Moselle department, is one of the shorter hill climbs included in the National Championship of France (Championnat de France de la Montagne).  Its 2.1km course climbs up through the forest along the D96 road from Lettenbach towards St Quirin.  

I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of this hillclimb with lots of spectators packing the sides of the course and lots of fast noisy and interesting cars making the climb.

In 2023 there were in effect four different competitions going on at this hillclimb, each of which I have covered in a separate blogpost which you can access via the links below:
