May 29th 2015, Step 3 (Montgenèvre – St-Tropez): Triumph in Saint-Tropez

The third and final stage of this first edition of the Megève-St Tropez Classic will remain engraved in the memories. A 348km anthology route along traces of the Tour de France and Monte Carlo Rally… Turns and hairpins to no end. Breathtaking panoramas (Col d’Izoard, Vars, Felines, Bleine, Mercantour National Park by the Cayolle pass and to finish the Esterel …), a steady pace and an arrival at Domaine Bertauds -Belieu, for a rosé tasting, could not be more refreshing … Perfect timing and tired faces, but happy, welcomed by the mayor of St-Tropez, Jean-Pierre Tuveri, Place des Lices, before joining the Château de la Messardiere for an exceptional stay. Tonight it’s time for the party, and it looked great, after the dinner at Tropézina, the famous beach restaurant in Ramatuelle. Cyril Neveu has won his bet : navigating the most beautiful alpine roads between two mythical cities, combining mechanical sleek and friendliness, food (including a nice picnic) and discovery. Each of the 42 teams at the start has found its way, at their own pace. Olivier and Sabine Cazalières won the « classic » category on their high-powered AC Cobra. while Patrick Paray and I. Maire grant, on their Porsche 911, the « modern” category. Appointment is already taken for a second edition in 2016!
