On the Mediterranean coast there are many little roads and places one can admire and enjoy! But the best way to discover them is on a motorcycle or a plane.
One of those is the charming little town of Cassis, eastwards from Marseille.
The best way to get to Cassis is to take the “Route des Crêtes” starting from La Ciotat. It offers a ride of some 9 km (approx. 6 miles) of perfect pavement and curves! All that by the sea side over white cliffs.
This is a very well know road from the local bikers and you could enjoy some interesting “races” taking place there, but avoid to take part as those guys know the road by heart (check the tire marks in the curves…leaving the road and back on it…scary)!
Normal (lets say: less Testosterone pumped-up ones) can work on their skills at a normal pace and enjoy all the parking places to enjoy the breath taking vista.
Don’t stop in the middle of the road to take a great shot of the curves, car drivers don’t like it! Trust me !
