Provence – up into the Mediterranean alps

Day 2 update

Today, 21st May, we left the mountain town of Grasse. What a difference a day makes! Bright sunshine and light winds! This morning we discovered how beautiful Grasse is. We breakfasted in the town square, overlooking the countryside hills and sea to the south. Grasse is the perfume capital of the area.

But there was good news and bad news to follow. For most of the day we were climbing massive cols! The highest of which was over 1,200m. The good news was the stunning wonderful forested mountain scenery!

We finally arrived at the ancient scenic mountain village of Castellane having cycled 64 km with 1,400m of ascent!

We have now travelled 114 km in total.
