The Espigoulier's special feature? Its switchbacks! Like a beautiful mountain pass, the road twists and turns to offer views (especially of Marseille in the distance), areas for recovery, and beautiful steep sections! The surrounding landscape is simply superb.
The road was particularly quiet on the way up (between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. on a Friday in July), but it was coming hard from the opposite direction. Keep your eyes peeled 😉
