- We drive the Combe Laval (note the spelling mistake in the thumbnail lol) in our £900 Audi TT Roadster Convertible
Frequently recognized as the most magnificent road in the French Alps, this road through Combe Laval was constructed between 1861 and 1898 and originally served for the transportation of timber from the Forêt de Lente to St-Jean-en-Royans. It’s one of the most famous French balcony roads and cuts into the cliff-like side of the gorge and runs via a series of short, narrow tunnels. It's nearly 8 mi (13 km) of lush, alpine beauty and dizzying heights. Eleven tunnels are needed to pass through the sheer peaks
This road is famous because it was directly carved in the cliff and it takes to an impressive cirque above the Royans which is 4 km deep. The road is not to be missed. The last section is simply exceptional up to the Col de la Machine where a hotel was built to receive travellers, firstly by horse-drawn carriage, then cars and coaches.

Lovely video, amazing road! 😮
Your pronunciation of Valence wasn’t too shabby. Think of it as “val-ons” rather than “val-ens” and it’ll be even better. Combe has a silent “e”. 😉
Thanks for the tips!
