Nice to Avignon
 

any ideas on the best route to take from Nice to Avignon? I am riding
from Chianti to Avignon...and while i got the skinny on the first
part, it's after Nice that i am clueless. Should i go through the
hills, or cut down to Marsielle, and up? I have only 6 days to do the
whole journey...i am hoping to use only 2-3 to get to Genova...eric

I would recommend going inland and avoiding the crowded coastal areas.

Something like Nice to Grasse. Draguignan, Aups, Manosque, Venasque (rent a room here in Les Ramparts),
Carpentras, Avignon. Get green Michelin maps (1:100,000 scale) and try to use the yellow and white roads.

Bon Voyage,
