Important mention:
Until 1993, the route to the finish was different in the last 300 meters( Rue du Port Vieux instead of Route du Pla d'Adet) resulting in an extra 100 meters for the ascents before 1993. The very close time in which these different distances were ridden allows though a direct comparison between before 1993 ascent times and those after, 1993 included.
