Napoleon is OK
My favourite resource for roads in that neck of the woods

Lake Serre Poncon is a nice round route, Route Des Cretes in the Verdon Gorges is great as well. Col de Bonette is good (claimed to be highest "paved" road in Europe)
Our favourite stop off in that neck of the woods

You must do Route Napoleon if you're in that part of the world. I would definitely describe it as more than "OK" but then Mikey is more of seasoned Euro-hooner than most 
We stayed here when we did it, which is pretty much right at the start (at the Grenoble end) of the N85

Nice place, and lots of parking.

+1 for the Route Napoleon and the CommanderieWe stayed here when we did it, which is pretty much right at the start (at the Grenoble end) of the N85

(lucky enough to have driven the Route Napoleon from Grasse to Grenoble. Also been to the Commanderie - I worked in Grenoble for @8 years and lived near Voreppe).
Nice runs past Lake Annecy and Aix-les-Bains (restaurants overlooking the lake).
Head into the Alps and you'll find spectacular views and tunnels
