Back to France Nice Provence Entrevaux & Clelles Chamonix & Annecy Lyons & Puy De Dome Rocamadour The Drive To Chinon Chenonceau Paris [ Back ] [ Home ] [ Up ] [ Next ]

Along Route Des Grandes Alpes We left the heavy traffic and highly confusing streets of Nice by driving northbound along this scenic mountain route towards the Alps. We stopped briefly at Entrevaux and St. Julien-Du-Verdon, then settled at the picturesque village of Clelles.

Entrevaux This medieval fortress-town along the route lies between Provence and the Alps. It is surrounded by a waterway and the town entrance is accesed through a draw bridge. The citadel atop its hill and its cathedral are fascinating structures

St. Julien-Du-Verdon This town just 15 minutes north of Entreveaux offers magnificent panoramic views of a man-made lake.

Clelles This tiny village 30 minutes south of Grenoble is surrounded by beautiful mountains, valleys, and a small lakes.

Dusk creates a sillhoutte of Mont Aiguille. Hotel Ferrat is located at the foot of the mountain.

Misty mountains in the early drive leaving Clelles.
