Superb road with a view of the gorges below and featuring small tunnels dug into the rock. It was on this road that scenes from the James Bond film GoldenEye were shot.

The highest peak for miles around, this ridge line is clearly visible from the beaches of Cannes. From up there, and weather permitting, you can sometimes see the island of Corsica in the distance. In my experience, being at the top for sunrise is the best time to be there.
