Weds 10th Dignes-les-Bains DAY 18

Debbie and bike on Napoleon Route

The BEST biking day so far and we've only done half of 'Route Napoleon'. This basically goes from Grasse near Nice to Grenoble in mid-France and skirts along the Alps. Great roads to ride and we have some amazing videos which we'll share when we get home. Lots of other bikes and ours by no means the biggest. In fact there was one bright purple monster trike which made everyone sick as it trundled past with a HUGE hairy man in charge and a tiny person (hard to see if male or female) in an armchair behind him - both smirking rather complacently.

We went from Alba on a small road, completely on our own for miles, passing houses filled with bails of hay and quite a few tractors going about their business. Eventually we HAD to get on the Autostrada/Autoroute to make the crossover from Italy to France and it was quite difficult to order two cappuccini in the right language but they did understand!








...and a great couple of places where we did videos but also took some still photos 'cos it was so brill.

Great bit of road with stone arch - bit tricky as you don't really know what is coming the other way!
