Tour de Sainte-Tropez
Road bike experience deluxe
I personally like to hit the road very early, just after sunrise. Make your way from La Croix-Valmer to Gassin. After a steep ascent, just before entering the village, you take a right towards Ramatuelle. You will pass the old windmill and enter Ramatuelle coming from above. There is a stunning view to the coastline of La Croix-Valmer and Cavalaire, later to the beaches of Ramatuelle. Pass through Ramatuelle and continue on to Saint Tropez along Plage de Pampelonne. Enter Saint Tropez via beautiful road Chemin de Sainte-Anne. Grab a croissant and coffee and enjoy the quiet harbour of Saint Tropez. After a short break, leave Saint Tropez towards Port Cogolin, but exit the main road towards Gassin (D61). Take the road along Bélieu wineyards and ascend to Gassin. Enjoy the breathtaking view of Gassin for a while and make your way back to La Croix-Valmer. This tour will take around 3 hours in total.
