Lovely climb. Up to Aiguines it is still very doable. Only when you leave Aiguines do you turn into the rive Gauche and the real climbing begins. Nice tarmac and great views.

I forgot to comment on what was a real favourite! I got there late. I recommend doing it in the late afternoon to take advantage of the evening light. Superb scenery. Very pleasant route. Never a very difficult climb. A real treat!
