This short stretch of EuroVelo8 is one of the most difficult. Without dedicated infrastructure, little space to create it, and steep hills in and out of Draguignan, the EV8 planners had to come up with a solution. Their signed route takes cyclists on a long detour, up over and down a substantial hill. Here we offer our alternative. There is still one short steep climb coming out of Draguignan. But the route is shorter, less hilly, and partially car-free. Oh, and there is a narrow 100 metre footpath along the way.
