Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Not recommended for racing bikes. In addition, there is almost no place with a view. All obstructed by private land or trees.

Beautiful, lonely and winding climb to the Col du Canadel overlooking one of the most beautiful bays in the region.

An easy and beautiful pass! On the south side, we have a permanent view of the Mediterranean with breathtaking landscapes. North side, wilder, we are in the Massif des Maures in a sumptuous pine forest. To be done very early in the morning in summer, especially the south side, which is quickly a furnace. The ideal is to continue with the Route des Crêtes, a veritable balcony above the sea, and the Col du Babaou, wilder with its typical landscapes of the Provençal coast.

View of Bormes-les-Mimosas

Highlight • Viewpoint

Bormes-les-Mimosas is located a few kilometers east of Hyéres. If you drive from Hyéres in the direction of Saint-Tropez, you will inevitably come to the branch to Bormes. A road winds up to the hillside village. Above the village sits an old fortress ruin. The climb is worth it but rather because of the view. The village is almost like a large botanical garden, countless plants bloom in numerous colors. However, the mimosas that gave the village its name do not bloom in summer, so you have to arrive in the very early spring. Highly recommended is a visit in mid-June, because then there are many plants in full bloom.

Especially the bougainvilleas are always an eye-catcher! The village makes a very neat impression, among which in some places the originality suffers a bit. In the village there is a circular route with various sights. Unfortunately, you sometimes feel like you are on a leash, because numerous signposts always want to lead the renegade visitor back to the Circuit touristique. The street Ruompi Cuou ("Broken Neck"), which is recommended in the guidebook, deserves the name barely, since it is now equipped with steps and no drainage channel in the middle. We look forward to our next visit to this beautiful flowered village!

Magnificent landscape, you just have to take pictures. The little road at the top wasn't so good for that - but the view made up for it. Now comes bathing in the sea 😎.

Unfortunately, it stopped recording after the last photo. As it has done so many times before. Continue on the way and return via Bormes les Mimosas. The whole tour is 48 km and takes 2 hours 20 minutes.
