Carved into the steep limestone cliffs of the Vésubie Valley, the road connects the village of Levens to the commune of Duranus. It is renowned for its narrow passages, rock-hewn tunnels, and significant vertical exposure, making it a popular route for cycle tourists and sightseers seeking panoramic views of the Gorges de la Vésubie. One of the most famous landmarks along the route is the "Saut des Français," or Frenchman's Leap, a historic site where legend states that local resistance fighters forced soldiers over the precipice during the French Revolutionary Wars. 00:00 Intro 01:00 Levens 18:26 Duranus 20:23 Le Saut des Français 23:15 L'Imberguet 28:42 St Jean la Rivière
