The plan is to leave the hotel at 8.30am not because of the distance which is only 273km/170miles but because today should be one of the most spectacular of the whole trip. We technically leave the Route de Napoleon for about 15km/10miles and ride not only the Gorges du Verdon but also the Route des Cretes, which I understand to be a tarmaced goat path...just kidding. Once we leave the mountains we head to the coast near Cannes and ride along the Meditereanian coast to St Maxime. With so much to see I have allowed five hours for stops.
D952 La Palud sur Verdon
Point Sublime (best view of the Gorge)
D23 At Auberge des Cretes turn left, this is the Route des Cretes.
Those not wishing to do this bit of the Gorge can stay on the D952 for another 500m and wait at the bakers shop for us to join the road again.
