Get drunk on the scents of Sainte-Victoire in a sidecar
Scents of lavender and fennel float in the air.
The senses are awakened for this tour of the iconic mountain of the Aix region aboard an Ural sidecar, inspired by vintage models.
In the “basket” or in the back of the saddle, at 50 km/h, you take the time to admire the stone monument from every angle.
To the south, the vertiginous cliffs rise above the embroidery of vines where tasting is part of the program.
After the delightful Provençal village of Puyloubier, leaning against the rock, the route swings north, between cool valleys and oak forests.
Soon, the silhouette of the mountain dear to Cézanne imposes itself again.
Above the village of Vauvenargues, the potbellied towers of Picasso's castle spring from the pine forest and announce the imminent arrival in Aix-en-Provence.
