Near the Serre-Ponçon dam, you can enjoy this picturesque and dizzying road with almost no traffic to overlook the Blanche River.
Be careful on the road though, it is not uncommon for small landslides to occur and stones to be found in the middle of it.

Narrow defile through which the river, called the Blanche, joins the Durance. A small and vertiginous road connects the Serre-Ponçon dam to the Blanche valley. Gorgeous.
