Another lovely ride through Haute Province with some rather dramatic misty effects in the mountain valley and some highly scenic stone arches further down towards my goal: Cipieres.

| You can see why they've apparently used this road in various Bond movies. |
I've come to catch up with Pam RR, a friend from university days. She has lived in these parts for over 20 years and I can see why. The area reminds me strongly of north Wales and quite a few north Waleans and expats are drawn to the area, many working in Sophia Antipolis, the local equivalent of Silicon Valley.

| Greolieres from the air |
Apart from being a gorgeous little Roman hill town (opposite equally lovely Greolieres) Cipieres is within 30mins of a local skiing area, 40mins of Nice, has some lovely GR walking routes, off-road biking and, thanks to Marcus, the chance to go paragliding!
