D28 ....this is the Gorges Superiores du Cians. An excellent surface all the way and very recently resurfaced to a great extent (2002), as you can see from some of the photos. The road is undergoing more road works again in a number of places (2004). The only bumpy bit is just the very last bit after Beuil if you're coming from the north. The quite wide road is excellent; the surface is good and follows every curve of the river next to it, and this river curves big time. I don't think there's anything resembling a straight. There are tight flickable sections and tight sweepers, trees and cliffs. Everything. The red cliff face is on your right the whole way down. In places the road narrows and the cliff face overhangs a bit. Makes a fast right hand bend with oncoming traffic over the white lines, a real cheek clenching experience! 22km of biking heaven. Imposing scenery, superb surface and red rocks. We rate it as moderately difficult because of the speed you tend to go at combined with the tightness of most of the corners. Seriously recommended. Eventually the road snakes down to the main road the N202. There is nothing to recommend about the N202 itself except the occasional petrol station (Puget-Théniers), the interesting walled town of Entrevaux and it's also the way to the Gorges de Dalius.
