  1. Empuriabrava

    Go there on the way up the coast. (Why is this text huge :thinkingface:) Look up the surf bar, the place is built on man made canals.
    Get a tandem parachute jump with the Sky Rats - the view of the Pyrenees and the Med from 14000 feet will be forever etched in your brain.

  5. Well I'm glad I didn't listen to that @PaulPhillips clown and head to Marseille...
    My idea of le lavandou was much better!!! And I discovered the d48 558 and 49 roads..
    Fuck it's good to be me right now!!!!
    I'm so glad I got outta bed today!!!
    This is the view from my crummy 2 star digs...

  7. My in-laws used to live at Les Issambres - must be pretty much where you are (or were, if you've been riding this afternoon). I bet there are hotels in St-Maxime - that's just down the road.

    Good places to go to are Bandol (between Marseilles and Toulon) and Cassis. These are the places and beaches you hang out at (or did) when the Bol d'Or is on at Le Castellet. Surely not high-season yet, so there must be plenty of places to stay. Don't get your bike nicked. Marseilles and environs are seriously dodgy. Think a Mediterranean Liverpool...
     
  8. Im in le lavandou dude... and I ain't moving for 3 days... well, I'll might do some small day trips...
    They have a lil bike garage at the hotel so all's good there...
