Le Plan-de-la-Tour

Highlight • Settlement

Le Plan-de-la-Tour is a picturesque village typical of Provence.

In its town centre, pretty plane trees provide the necessary shade for a break on the terrace.

A beautiful road that we will take rather downhill given the traffic.

Great place for a cup of coffee. Do not do that along the boulevard, they are not fond of cyclists on their terrace. Going into town is better.

June 13, 2025,le Plan de la Tour - La Garde Freinet - Grimaud – Runde von La Croisette

A beautiful circular tour, mostly on small roads. There's a lot of oncoming traffic in the morning on the section between Port Grimaud and La Plan de la Tour. After that, up to Grimaud, there are only a few Aitos on the road. About half of the climbs are shaded by trees.

Great views of the interior.

Today, Sunday, I drove the same route again, this time without the morning rush hour traffic coming in the opposite direction. I highly recommend a little detour into the villages.

Do not take the branch road to the D558. Very bad surface, deep potholes, not for thin racing bike tires!!!

A fine mountain stage is announced today, to Plan-de-la-Tour. First it goes through the eye of the needle "St. Tropez" where I happened to be able to experience the weekly market. Then it goes first along the main street at the port. There is a narrow but well-developed cycle path.
