Just after passing near Notre-Dame de la Ménour, a sanctuary dating from the 12th century, the road takes the form of a very beautiful serpentine with many hairpin bends. It is a pure delight for cyclists.

A very beautiful road in the Cians gorges. There are 20 km of climbing from Touët-sur-var to Beuil. The average grade is around 5%, but there are steeper sections down and near the top.
