Grimaud / Fréjus Véloroute littorale

The Route

From Port Grimaud, the cycle route leads you along a cycle path running beside the sea and the D559 road, up to Ste-Maxime’s Plage de la Croisette where signposting for the PCL comes to an end. Take care along this stretch, as cars cross the cycle path to get to private properties, car parks and beaches. Be careful at the round-about of the Train des Pignes in Ste Maxime where you have to take a left turn in the midst of traffic in order to follow a route behind the coast to cross the resort. 

Leaving Ste Maxime, you join the cycle path along the Train des Pignes route, which isn’t signposted but allows you to ride on to the campsite at St-Aygulf. 
At St-Aygulf, the cycle route is being laid out at time of writing: opposite the campsite, you need for the time being to turn right onto Ave. du Train des Pignes then, having dismounted, turn left, pushing your bike along the one-way Rue d’Alsace, bringing you out at the cycle path beside the D559 road.

At Fréjus, at the end of the cycle lane turn left along Rue des Batteries, then continue straight on, heading up Rue des Campanettes. Further on, turn right onto Impasse Georges Guynemer, which turns into Rue Georges Guynemer. Next, fork left to reach Avenue d’Argens (on the D559 road) and turn right into this street. At the round-about intersecting with Bd. de la Mer (D98B), follow signs for Fréjus Centre (3rde exit).
