M6202 Road

Tucked away in the southeastern part of the country, the road is totally paved. Part of the Route de Grenoble, the road is narrow and features countless tunnels dug into the rock. Running along the Var River, the most scenic part of the drive is 31km (19.26 miles), from Var Bridge (Pont sur le Var) to Nice, the capital of the Alpes-Maritimes department on the French Riviera. High risk of landslides.

This road is one of the most famous balcony roads in the country. A balcony road is a hair-raising lane cut into the sides of sheer cliffs. It’s a kind of road not for those who fear heights. There is little room for error on these roads. Drive with care as this is a mountain road with hairpin curves and narrow unlit tunnels. When you take this road as picturesque as it is narrow, with its many surprising meanders, drive carefully, and above all don't miss the parking spaces that have been provided.
