Why Cycle Cote d'Azur loves the Col de Vence

This is a hard climb because it is relentless, it becomes quite barren as soon as you leave Vence, and as it is south facing there is no shade at all. We always make sure we fill up with water from the fountain in Vence for this climb!  Click here to read a beautiful write up of this climb by our friend and client Collyn Ahart!
