Barcelonnette

Highlight • Settlement

Barcelonnette is the capital of the Ubaye valley. We breathe in its streets like a perfume of the south of France which is already announced. It is a very pleasant city.

Saint Lawrence Church

Short rest on the way to Col Cayol. Again "refuel" for the next climb to the pass. A wonderful spot right on the barely traveled road. Very nice!

Cayolle Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col de la Cayolle is a little known pass. Its name is not very familiar, yet it culminates at more than 2,324 meters above sea level and offers a remarkable panorama and very quiet roads.
