Briançon
... along the way. We decided to find a sunny spot to enjoy a café and headed back towards the sunny side of the ramparts. Anoop was busy taking photos and somewhere in there he missed* our signalling that we were heading right. We got to the café, ordered and went to the washroom and he still hadn’t showed up. I headed off in search of him and spotted him further down the hill; after flagging him we returned to the café in time for ...

Col de l'Iseran
... signs. We then headed right back down the same road and continued on our way.
We drove through Iseran, the ski resort which was quite dead, and up to the Col de l'Iseran. It was a stunning drive and much more beautiful than the Petit St. Bernard in terms of scenery on the way up. We then drove down the other side of the col which was the side everyone was riding the next day, to Lanslebourg, stopping every so often to ...
