The views are undeniably beautiful, but it's mainly on a very main road that makes traffic very heavy. If I had to start in Villefranche, I'd take the Col des 4 Chemins to get the Col d'Eze route from Nice, which is much prettier and has a better road!... read more

The views are undeniably beautiful, but it's mainly on a very main road that makes traffic very heavy. If I had to start in Villefranche, I'd take the Col des 4 Chemins to get the Col d'Eze route from Nice, which is much prettier and has a better road!

Les vues sont belles c’est indéniables, mais c’est principalement sur un très gros axe routier qui rend la circulation dense. Quitte à démarrer à Villefranche, j’irais récupérer le col des 4 chemins pour récupérer la route du col d’Eze depuis Nice, bien plus joli en plus et avec une meilleure route !
