Hairpin bends of Notre-Dame de la Ménour

Highlight (Segment) • Religious Site

Just after passing near Notre-Dame de la Ménour, a sanctuary dating from the 12th century, the road takes the form of a very beautiful serpentine with numerous hairpin turns. It's a pure delight for cyclists. Don't hesitate, before setting off, to stop at the chapel which overlooks the Gorges du Piaon from a height of 780 meters.

Braus Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

People have been stopping to marvel at this view since the col’s famous switchbacks were constructed in the early 20th century. Take your time up the ascent and you will admire the olive groves, and maybe spy the remnants of the old Route Royale, the salt road that linked Nice and the coast to Piedmont and the Dukes of Savoy in Turin.

Col de Braus is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/2UvpAmH and claim your badge if you rode this classic.
