September 20, 2024,Fahrradtour Gorges de Loup und Col de Vence

Beautiful last half-day tour through the wild Gorge de Loup and over the Col de Vence with a great view of the sea. We had great weather too. But I've had enough altitude for now!!!

I added the last 5 or 6 photos of our walk through Vence because it was so nice there!
