It is "Blofelds Lair"
Fantastic trip. I know loads of those roads. I've never yet been to the Gorge du Verdon though and htat hotel looks fabulous.
Some great pics, what was it like threading the Aston through those hairpins, some of those corners must have been sub 20mph?
I am planning on driving down to the supercar show in Monte Carlo in April and want to take the scenic route, although some of those passes I expect will still be closed.

Hallo Mike,
What a beautiful trip, even more impressive to us as we know so many roads you did :-))and you were passing quite near to us ;-)
We'll do a trip to the Monte-rally-routes in three weeks.Based around Monaco , so start will be there.
If you would be kind enough to send us your files for your trip, too, as an "inspiration".Many thanks for sharing your impressions with us. A drink on you tonight for sure ;-)

Check out this one! Apparently it is a valid driving route, but not one I'd recommend in an Aston!

Yeah. Unfortunately I was on my road bike when it stitched me up there. Not having any other routing planned I did it anyway, but do not recommend it on a £6k CF road bike in the cold p

Loved the alps trip write-up by the way. It brought some great memories back from when I cycled a lot of that 4 years ago.
Gorge de Verdon and Galibier (different days!) are epic.
Must take the V8V down there one of these years.
