Arriving in Peille on your touring bike is a scenic and rewarding experience as you wind your way through the rugged landscape of the Côte d'Azur.
The village, perched on a hilltop, greets you with breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. As you approach, you'll discover a beautiful mix of narrow, winding roads and lush greenery, with a final tunnel approach through the rocky cliffs adding a touch of enchantment to your arrival.

Peille

Highlight • Settlement

Because it is located at an altitude of 630 metres, equidistant from Nice and Monaco, Peille can be seen from the summit of La Madone. Its chapels, converted into a town hall or a bakery, set the tone: the medieval heritage is still inhabited. Léo Ferré liked to stay there and dedicated a song to it.

Braus Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

People have been stopping to marvel at this view since the col’s famous switchbacks were constructed in the early 20th century. Take your time up the ascent and you will admire the olive groves, and maybe spy the remnants of the old Route Royale, the salt road that linked Nice and the coast to Piedmont and the Dukes of Savoy in Turin.

Col de Braus is part of our Montagnes à la Carte series, head over to bit.ly/2UvpAmH and claim your badge if you rode this classic.

Route Between Col de Castillon and Col Saint-Jean

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Castillon Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Fantastically beautiful pass road without traffic, as this runs mostly on the new road.

Attention: the new road is closed to cyclists, because at the top of the pass there is a 1km long, single-lane tunnel. This highlight is located on the old road that runs exactly over the tunnel of the new road. Therefore it may happen that komoot sends you on the new road. Be sure to check before driving!
