L'authion - La Bollène-Vésubie

Always as pleasant to go to the freshness of the pass and its fabulous roads!

Always as mythical for Rally lovers

On a bike you will have 3 possibilities to reach its summit 1607m. By Lucéram with its laces (2 west and east options, east side with more beautiful laces and a larger view). By Sospel see Menton almost 40km of superb climb... long and difficult. By Vésubie, more classic, no more... A must-have collar in the back country, a real mountain pass. My favorite variant: go up by Lucéram on the East side and go down by Sospel (beautiful rapid descent). And why not chain with the collar of Braus (easy side to descend on the Escarene with its chain of laces)

Place loaded with stories to the Fort de la Redoute, to visit by car or by hiking trails

We went in one lunchtime during a storm. We tried to sit at an empty table but the woman owner told us to go away! My partner then wanted to use the toilet but the woman told us to go away again. She was serving other people but she didn't need to be so impolite. Then she said service could be possible in 15 minutes. We waited outside at in the doorway. The owner knew we were there waiting but she never came to let us know there was a table. We waited forty minutes as the storm was really bad. We eventually decided to leave although it was still pouring with rain. We got absolutely soaked. If we had been able to stay in the restaurant we would have eaten and drank until the rain stopped. The restaurant was not full and some of the guests left while we were there, so there were tables. We were hiking. Maybe the woman owner doesn't like hikers. The woman owner should go on a course to improve her service and manners. Whatever the case we won't be going back.
