The roar of car engines in the French mountains

Once upon a time, there was a region in France where narrow and steep roads connected the towns in the mountains. It was not easy for the horses pulling the carriages to climb there, but the landscape was so beautiful that it was worth the effort.

Oh, wait! We are not in a story, and no horses were on the roads. Still, the horsepower in our car engines had to work big time. Just look at my screenshot and these curves! Very steep uphill all the time. We were high {lol}.

I don't know the altitude we reached after the last bend, but I could see snow on the mountaintops. That is something I like to see!

This carousel ride took place at the beginning of July, as I said in France. More precisely a region called Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. We were heading toward the town of Briançon.

Well, this photo is not that town, just one of those before we reached it. We chose this route for the first time and I assure you it was an interesting decision. It brought some additional dose of adrenaline, though I always find some entertainment... You know I like to count even tunnels hahaha

We took this regional road and not the highway ( @ littlebee4 😁, it's your way of travelling) and I was so happy seeing the purple fields of lavender, then the greenery, the hills, the high mountains, the ski resorts and one lake that we crossed.

After this road, we reached Italy and headed toward Turin, but that part of the road (again highway) was a bit boring. Maybe it just seemed, after these views.

We had to go slow, our car engines were roaring (poor cars) but I was in playing mode today so I made some changes in the video you can see here. Well, there is also a cameo in this video 😂

Just high altitudes and less oxygen, no worries.

P.S. I hope you are not dizzy after watching this video!
