The road runs through the gorge of the river Vernaison above Sainte-Eulalie to Les Barraques en Vercors. Partly carved out of the rock and partly built as a tunnel in the first half of the 19th century, it offers a spectacular driving experience. Unfortunately, the big brother further up was closed in 2008 and replaced by a 1.7 km long tunnel.
It's best to check locally to see if the road is open. As of summer 2021, further maintenance work and closures are planned.

Very nice! You have to at least have a rear light though.
