A balcony road carved along a deep Provençal gorge.
The D942 runs as a balcony along the rim of the Gorges de la Nesque between Villes-sur-Auzon and Sault, a narrow Provençal road of short tunnels and overlooks above the limestone canyon, with Mont Ventoux close by. Mind the narrow sections, the cyclists, and rockfall after rain.
