La Croix-Valmer (near St Tropez)

Awesome summer ride that I do on holiday, nearly every day for 2 weeks.

Has everything, fantastic runs through the provence countryside with superb eye opening smells.

Nice profile ride as well, with plenty of ups and downs with a nice workout  climbing the "Col Du Vignon" at 352 m.

Short brush with the traffic entering/leaving St Tropez, but a buzz all the same overtaking the static Porche and Ferrari's. Passes through or near following villages;

- Ramatuelle

- Gassin

- Porte Grimaud

- Plan de la Tour

- Garde-Freinet

- Grimaud

- Cogolin

- La Croix-Valmer

- Gigaro

Doesn't get better than that !!
