We've named this cycling tour "Blue Provence" after the clear blue Provencal sky and the blue of the Mediterranean Sea. As you cycle, you will of course experience many shades of beautiful colors: the red of the Esterel Mountain Range, the green of the Verdon river, or the purple of the flowers... It is an extraordinary trip that will be best enjoyed if you have some mileage under your belt... The terrain is not that easy, making this trip an ideal one for riders in need of quality miles before the real season starts... |
||||
| It can be combined with some of the numerous cyclosportives that take place in this part of France... | ||||
