A mythical itinerary in 5 stages
This trip of approximately 250 km 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 road to Gineste offers you a magnificent spectacle: flowing turns, pine forests, cliffs and the Mediterranean in the background.
Mandatory break at Belvedere of the Calanques before going down to Cassis.
2. Cassis → La Ciotat (15 km)
Continue on the Route des Crêtes, a legendary stretch between sea and sky.
Each turn offers a bird's eye view of the cliffs of Cap Canaille.
Narrow road, be careful on windy days.
3. La Ciotat → Toulon (40 km)
The coast is getting milder.
Pass by Bandol and Sanary-sur-Mer, two fishing villages perfect for a lunch break.
One Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 will be perfect in this segment.
4. Toulon → Saint-Tropez (70 km)
Long coastal stretch, more rolling, punctuated by coves and mythical seaside resorts.
Avoid major roads: prefer the D559 by Le Lavandou and Ramatuelle.
It is one of the most beautiful sections of the road trip.
5. Saint-Tropez → Nice (90 km)
Final stretch, but not the least.
Traverse Sainte-Maxime, Fréjus, Antibes Then run along it Promenade des Anglais all the way to Nice.
A magical arrival at sunset, facing the sea.
