A more difficult option but the view is superb, there's no traffic and during the heat of the summer it's a forest road with plenty of shade in the second part, to avoid burning in the sun. It's a great way to continue on to Les Crosets or Morgins, and I highly recommend doing it one day!... read more

Variante plus difficile mais la vue est superbe, pas de circulation et durant les chaleurs de l'été c'est une route en foret avec plein d'ombre dans sa seconde partie, pour éviter de brûler au soleil. Intéressant pour enchainer sur Les Crosets ou Morgins, je vous conseil vivement de le faire un jour!
