WHAT can we say?

The southern route along this gorge is, in parts, probably the most spectacular road we have ever cycled along.

This route is called the 'Corniche Sublime'. Here its at 1201m, over 700m above the river.

The road you can see is on the north side, also a very fine road, making a superb circuit which is best cycled anti-clockwise.

These photos are on the southern route,
see pages 4, 5 & 6 for pictures of the northern road.
