A quiet road that doesn't have much traffic. Nice views of the Estérel. Be careful only if you go down by joining the avenue de gratadis.

Highlight • Other

A truly picturesque ascent between the Estérel and the Mediterranean. The road is quite quiet because it is closed at the top. You cannot go down the other side and will have to go back.

Old wine in new bottles, right? I was on the Col Notre-Dame in the Esterel for the first time in 1986. And I've been there again and again since then. The fact that I'm getting slower is just the ravages of time. Still, it's nice to see the old friend again. No wild boars this time, but no drivers either. …

Nice round, unfortunately the last hour in the rain...

Wonderful landscape - but the road is a desaster. Definitively no pleasure with a road bike.

Super nice, lonely, partly car-free route, but also partly the worst surface and full closure.
With the 23'er Püschchen it was definitely very daring 😅.
But nothing broke and I didn't grab it either, although sometimes it was really egg dancing with slow speed.
It was nice anyway...👍
