           *D955 towards Comps S / Artuby (do not take the D71 at the exit of Comps),

           *stay on the D 955 (do not take the D52 at Jabron, even if your GPS makes you believe that it is a shortcut !!!),

As a general rule, don’t believe your GPS, instead take the time to check your itinerary according to the directions above (or contact us for more details). Give yourself a margin of time, because the local roads are winding (and often used by slow vehicles: motorhomes, etc …).

You can also easily compose your itinerary by consulting the Via Michelin or Mappy websites.
