We found a lovely restaurant in Poylourbier where we had a bite to eat and a longer break. Highly recommended!

June 3, 2024,Tour de la montagne Sainte Victoire

Circuit departing from Le Tholonet in a clockwise direction. Passage into town at Aix for a few km but from St Marc, superb small roads, the D10, the D23, D57d and the Cézanne route. Recommended periods, spring and autumn.
