In this section, instead of driving along the coast to Cannes, you go straight through the Esterel Mountains. The landscape is very impressive with its red and rugged rock. With a gravel bike, however, you quickly reach your limits, as the paths are very rough and narrow tires are not suitable. On the way through the mountains, you keep seeing great waterfalls and gorges. There is some ranger infrastructure on the summit. This road offers a great alternative to the coastal road.
