Nice tunnel

Highlight • Other

All in all, a dream route, even through these natural tunnels. But watch out for oncoming traffic. It's all quite narrow here and very busy in high season. And you don't want to fall into the Gorges de la Nesque, that would have been the last exit...

Nesque Gorge

Highlight • Gorge

The Nesque gorges are breathtaking views, a long but very gentle and gradual climb, asphalt of impeccable quality. A dream route that fulfills all the wishes of the happy cyclist one by one. You can't get enough of these gorges.
