Small winding road with bridges carved into the rock overlooking one of the most beautiful canyons in France!

Roquesteron is a pretty village in the heart of the Estéron valley, bathed by the clear waters of this river, which stretches under the rocky bars of the Adrech. On the other side of the Estéron is La Roque-en-Provence which formed the same village with Roquesteron before 1760, a period when the valley belonged to the Duchy of Savoy and the Kingdom of Sardinia which included the County of Nice. By crossing the Pont de France you will reach this equally picturesque town. With your back to the bridge, in summer you will enjoy very pleasant swimming in its large and small natural pools.

The Col de Vé Gautier marks the highest point on a gorgeous ridge road that leads from the confluence of the Estéron and Var to the Col Saint-Raphaël, which in turn also connects the two parallel rivers. This ridge road could also create a route highlight, but since there are different variants to drive from the valley road of the Estéron up to the crest road, a passport description appears more meaningful. The 40-kilometer-long crest road surpasses itself with fantastic views of the low-lying Estéron valley, stretches of road exposed to the rock, loneliness, nature, secluded but well-preserved villages, good road quality and extremely pleasant grading percentages. Only in the very rocky passages caution is advised that you do not slash the tire with a stone lying on the road. Due to the many routes available in the Estéron Valley, this road, or at least a part of it, is a must in the hinterland of Nice.
