Comps by bike
Nested on the first step of Pre-Alps, the tiny and picturesque Comps-sur-Artuby is the last refill (liquid and solid) village if you plan to cycle the Great Verdon Grand Canyon left hand side.
Off season when restaurant are closed it means almost 40km in a gorgeous but potentially hostile desert-like landscape before you reach Aiguines.
If it is peak summer season and you want to blow your mind, hit the road at crack of dawn to keep away from rush hour tourism (motorbikes, car and also campers too wides for these small twisty mountain roads).
Otherwise, from snowmelt (usually April) to June and from October to first snowfalls (maybe December) all the roads around are law traffic, demanding but unforgettable.
