The crossing of the Rhône here is quite impressive, as you see much of the infrastructure of this huge dam. Beware of the wind, which can sometimes be quite violent in this place devoid of trees.

The dam also serves as a bridge. The road is normally quiet, with not many cars during my off-season visit (October). Beautiful view of the Rhône and the infrastructure of this immense dam.

The street is not that quiet, there is a lot of traffic, even at night.
