The crest road which connects the town of La Ciotat to that of Cassis, runs in laces on the edge of the cliffs of Soubeyran (394 m), which are the highest seaside cliffs in France. The view is spectacular both in terms of the landscapes seen at the top of these cliffs and the road itself which evolves in pretty landscapes presenting a remarkable geology. This road is closed on very strong mistral days. This powerful wind can indeed be very intense at this height.

I didn't cycle the entire route, but especially at the viewpoint I had great views of the sea, the cliffs and the landscape in the hinterland.
