🇫🇷 Cannes / Mandelieu-la-Napoule

Stage 20 Roses —> Mandelieu-la-Napoule (Cannes) 511 KM (Total 5645 KM)

At night before our departure, it is very windy and that gives us a small taste of our drive towards 🇫🇷.

We cross the Pyrenees and the wind in 🇫🇷 becomes stronger and stronger. In our weather app, we see that wind force 6 is forecasted here and the wind is gusty from the port side, which makes it dangerous for us motorhome drivers 😏. There are large warning signs on the highway warning the motorhome drivers in 🇩🇪 about a lateral wind! Apparently, strong winds are frequent here and we imagine how many motorhomes have already fallen victim to this before the 🇫🇷 put up warning signs in German 😳😱.

On the way, we are overtaken by a low loader, which is loaded upright with a large plastic swimming pool and is dangerously swaying back and forth - really crazy the risks the drivers take just to be maybe half an hour earlier at their destination 🙄. The strong wind accompanies us for the next 300 KM until shortly before our destination and we drive accordingly cautiously 😅😅😅.

Mandelieu-la-Napoule is located 8 KM before Cannes and is a small chic village where water sports and golf are central themes. Our campsite is small and fine - we lie down by the pool immediately after arrival and feel comfortable right away.

The campsite is so centrally located that we can easily visit the places Cannes, Grasse, Saint-Tropez, and Monaco from this location.

The next day we ride 🚲 to Cannes, roam around the town, and then enjoy the southern French way of life with a glass of wine at a beach bar.
