La Piste des Maures, France

Driving from Toulon on the A57, towards Cannes. It means going North to the A8. Traffic is dense.

Patrick, my colleague, driving, spots a sign.

“Let’s go via the coast over the Piste des Maures, where they hold the road race.”

On to a narrow road which climbs rapidly into the Maures Mountain range. I think he has acrophobia.

“God, Richard, it is very high, the road is very narrow.”

Narrower as we crossed a 3km long ridge with a drop of 250 metes each side.

But we survived to eat a delicious lunch in a cafe above the beach!
