The main road to Manosque, bit of a means to an end. Decent surface and some nice bends but a fair bit of traffic. Mind you, I never felt unsafe and the descent the other side is great.... read more

Well, this is the road from Gréoux to Manosque. Lots of cars. It's really unpleasant. A pointless climb. At the top, it's a plain. In short, only if you have to get to Manosque.

Bon, c’est la route qui conduit de Gréoux à Manosque. Beaucoup de voitures. C’est vraiment désagréable. Ascension sans intérêt. En haut, il s’agit bien d’une plaine. Bref, juste s’il faut se rendre à Manosque.
