Parallel to the Chat tunnel, passage reserved for bicycles and pedestrians. Lit, it is dotted with drawings all along the walls. The official name of this passage is the "Galerie du Chat", a name that can be seen on many signs in the surrounding area.

Nice bridge, but the road is very busy and the gorge is not enjoyable. A sensible solution should be found here soon. This section was not fun.
