As you travel on the famous Route des Grandes Alpes, you’ll conquer passes like Iron Cross, Galibier, Vars, Turini and the highest of them all the Col de la Bonette.  Once you get a taste of these, like any fun amusement park ride, you’ll want to do them again and again.

Amazing Roads: Mount Ventoux

AKA the Windy Mountain or the Bald Mountain.  The Mount Ventoux is an excellent climb.  The reward is panoramic views of Provence and the Alps.  The limestone cap gives the Mount Ventoux a lunar like quality.
