Six river-formed valleys come together in the town of Le Bourg-d'Oisans, well known for cycle-racing, because it lies at the foot of the mountain road to the ski-resort of Alpe d'Huez, a famous finish-line in the Tour de France. I was curious to see what it looked like over here, and so we were on our way following the hairpin bends of the road to Alpe d'Huez, and having passed the top, descending the narrow 'post road' at the back of the mountain to the village of Clavans, which led to this view.
