Rocher de Caire overlooking Rémuzat
Rémuzat village
Lavender field at Col de Soubeyrand

We headed south from the
Alps region passing through the spectacular Col de Cabre from
Aspres-s-Buech west on the D93 towards Die passing the rocks called le
Claps where the river Drome tumbles through a narrow gorge then turned
south through wooded countryside to Rémuzat, a sleepy village with a
distinct Provencale feel. There we watched the wild
vultures soaring over the village and cliffs.

The slow climb up the Col de Soubeyrand was
worth it for the views to the north and the lavender fields, followed by a
descent through wooded terrain down to Buis-les- Baronnies in a rich fruit
growing valley then we continued south towards Mont
Ventoux. The road to the top is a very long 15 mile climb but we didn't
make it as our exhaust pipe became loose. Several other motorhomes and
coaches passed us and many cyclists in various states of exhaustion! We
returned north to the attractive town of Nyons
a typical tourist information point in the department of Drôme
