The main gateway into the Vercors from the north.

The upper half of the road, the Gorges d'Engins, is very impressive indeed, unfortunately we don't have pictures (it was raining, quite hard!) - this photo shows the lower section which is less interesting, though still a scenic road.

However the road is quite busy, because gateways into the Vercors are thin on the ground, and this is designated the most major road in, from the north. It was just about OK as a descent but we wouldn't like to do a biggish climb like this, in this much traffic.
