Re: Who knows where this is???

dunno, but at a guess I'd say either the southern alps, or the "gorges du tarn" judging by the colour of the rocks.

never bin there though so that's pure conjecture. I'll ask on a froggy forum...

Definitely on my list of places to go:
Gorges to Daluis

It looks like there are loads of good roads around there, and it's right next to the Route Napoleon too (N85)!

It's just north-west of Gorges du Verdon and south of Barcelonette in SW France.

I rode through Gorges du Daluis with Fewtrees after the Stella a couple of years back. Absolutely stunning scenery - red sandstone canyon walls - and hardly any traffic on the roads, I think there might have been a few seconds of footage of Daluis in the video we made. I liked it better than Verdon.

Anyway, there's stacks of gorges down there LV, and they're a 'must do'

Re: Who knows where this is???

I can certainly vouch for the south of France, some amazing roads down there!

Try riding along mediterranean coast, then go up before Nice, pass the French/Italian border at Isola (amazing road), and keep close to the border. Go back across the border at Chianale, up through France to Briancon, pass FR/IT border again by Montgenevre, crossing into France again by Novalesa and riding up to Val D'Isere...

Amazing!
