    From the old village of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, the view of the sea is splendid and even more striking at La Turbie. A visit to the Trophée des Alpes is recommended. The road that leads to Peille is a series of curves and tunnels. Cross the village through the old streets rather than the road to admire the fountain in the central square. The following section is bordered by a wild and lush nature. After L'Escarène, the climb up the daunting laces of the Col de Braus begins. A technical descent leads you to Sospel and the Saint-Roch fort, which is a remarkable element of the Maginot line.

    After the Col de Castillon, the descent to Menton begins before returning to Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Recommended departure from the car park at the entrance to the old village.
