A transverse road in the South of France, between Toulon and Marseille. Not the shortest one, especially compared to the close by highway. But hell (pun intended), the scenery is so incredible that it's a must go !

We drove this 24 km. scenic route on the north side of les Gorges de Verdon early one weekday morning in the first week of June. One way traffic from the starting point just east of La Palud-sur-Verdon all the way to Chalet de la Maline where the road operates in both direction for about 10 km back to La Palud. Breathtaking views from 14 belvédères along the way, including Col. d’Illoire which also has a few picnic tables in the glades on the downhill side of the roadway across a small wooden bridge. At the summit (where it was just 12 degrees Celsius at 10 o’clock in the morning!), we saw a chamois at the side of the road and vautours circling in the air currents overhead.

Twisty ride, but some of the best views in the Cote d'Azur. Stunning views of Monaco all the way to Italy.

Overall Ratings

Torpez is the wine brand from an outstanding jewel of a vineyard located on Cap de Saint-Tropez, around the "village of light" famous for its timeless beauty. Our wines reflect the exceptional history of our village, its gorgeous natural setting, its love affair with the arts, and its exuberant men and women.

It's a bit of a drive through a winding road but the view on the back of saint-tropez with its beautiful beaches of Pampelonne makes it worth it.

In the heart of the Luberon, in Provence, 56 ha of vineyards and 7.5 ha of olive groves. Organic AOP Luberon and IGP Vaucluse wines are produced on one side, and the Domaine’s olive oil on the other. Nature is all around. Chateau la Verrerie is a real taste of Provence. And our Boutique is too. As well as our wines, which are available for purchase and free tastings, we also offer local produce for you to share and enjoy: tapenade, honey, jam, and much more. Chateau la Verrerie welcomes sharing and encourages education. As such, it offers three themed experiences to be booked in advance, designed like guided tours, led by our enthusiastic sommeliers. From the vineyards to the winery, and including a visit to one of the region's rare barrel maturation cellars, you will gain insight into our fascinating world. Chateau la Verrerie extends its invitation to all lovers of Provence.

We had a private tour with Vincent that had been setup in advance by our tour guide Brice at Planet Provence. Vincent showed us around his winery and taught us a lot about the production of wine. Vincent has a true passion for his craft and it really adds to your experience.
