Superb road to ride. Better to enjoy it properly than trying to set a record time here. Unless you've done it 100 times already of course....

Especially with sunshine and pleasant temperature a nice ride to do a round in the Esterel. Not too hard , reasonable road surface, reasonably quiet outside July/August. Photogenic. Highly recommended. Also with UAE bikes. Note: this road can flood when it is a rainy period. Did the climb again on 14 September 2023. Lovely route, sometimes the road is a bit damaged. Superb views of Cap Roux and the Mediterranean sea. Definitely do it!

There are quite a few wild boars around here, which are quite used to the public.

As a climb it is not much, but in terms of atmosphere it is one of the most beautiful roads I know.
