You can hardly tell it's a passport. 🤭

Even before we cycle out of Saillans, we're stopped by art. Along the roadside stands a group of grape pickers, immortalized in a rusty corten steel procession. This sculpture is the work of Pierre Louis Chipon, a French artist who gives agricultural machinery a second life as poetry in metal. His works adorn the Route de la Clairette, a wine route that winds through the Drôme, embodying the region's age-old traditions in steel. Clairette is the name of a grape that already populated the hills here in Roman times and is still the star of the sparkling Clairette de Dié. This wine, once "invented" by monks, was considered for centuries one of France's oldest sparkling wines.

Very picturesque village. Magnificent.

It's blowing in the parade, watch out

Nice climb, with short sections that are a bit steeper, but also lead through a breathtaking rock formation.

Marsanne is a very pretty little village where it is nice to take a break in the shade of its plane trees.

The road to reach the pass is magnificent on both sides, with superb views of the Vercors, and passages under narrow cliffs.

The view is absolutely unforgettable, transporting you back to the medieval age with its timeless charm.
