A mythical route in 5 stages

This 250 km route can be enjoyed in one day... or even better, in two days to take advantage of the detours.

‍

1. Marseille → Cassis (30 km)

As soon as you leave Marseille, the route de la Gineste offers a breathtaking spectacle: flowing bends, pine forests, cliffs and the Mediterranean as a backdrop.
A compulsory break at the Calanques lookout before descending to Cassis.

‍

2. Cassis → La Ciotat (15 km)

Continue on the Route des Crêtes, a legendary stretch of road between sea and sky.
Every bend offers a plunging view of the cliffs of Cap Canaille.
Narrow road, caution on windy days.

‍

3. La Ciotat → Toulon (40 km)

The coast becomes gentler.
Passes through Bandol and Sanary-sur-Mer, two fishing villages perfect for a lunch break.
A Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 will be perfect for this segment.

‍

4. Toulon → Saint-Tropez (70 km)

A long, more rolling stretch of coast, punctuated by coves and mythical seaside resorts.
Avoid the main roads, preferring the D559 via Le Lavandou and Ramatuelle.
This is one of the most beautiful stretches of the road trip.

‍

5. Saint-Tropez → Nice (90 km)

Last but not least.
Crosses Sainte-Maxime, Fréjus, Antibes and then along the Promenade des Anglais to Nice.
A magical finish at sunset, facing the sea.
