Anyone know where this is?

In an episode of TopGear, Clarkson raced an RS4 up some mountain region in the south of France. I know it says Verdon on the map JC is looking at, but it doesnt narrow it down enough.

Does anyone know exactly where it is? Or recognise it?

This thread might help.

Thanks for that.

I gues its the Route Des Grandes Alps/Gorge Du Verdon... Will check google maps later.

Gorge Du Verdon was my guess but it was over twenty years ago I was last there so I might be wrong.

It might be the rapid escape route from Rotherham, not sure....

Anyone know if the gorge would be worth a visit in late July? I'll be about an hour an a half away in Antibes but I don't want to waste a day going there if it'll only be clogged up with caravans and Citroen Xsara Picassos (like the wonderful coast road always is...)

That episode is just starting on Dave +1 Channel 158

The gorge itself will be clogged up whatever, but that doesn't really matter as the views are simply jawdropping and you really don't want to drive too fast. Besides it's not a great driving road in my book, too many rock faces and 1,000 foot drops for my tastes

We went when we stayed in Antibes. It was a full day out but stopped off at a few places on the way.
It really is worth a visit but as Deckster said it'll be busy.
Hire a canoe and take a ride down the river it's a must see.
