The cliff-edge Corniche Sublime above Europe's grandest canyon.
The D71 Corniche Sublime clings to the rim of the Verdon Gorge, one of the deepest and grandest canyons in Europe, with sheer drops to the turquoise river far below. Narrow, exposed and unforgettable; take the cliff-edge bends slowly, mind the oncoming traffic, and stop only in the laybys.
