Looks great
Here is a route that I did last year centred on Le Camping Moto.
Takes in most of them in the Vercors Region.
I even put in coffee and lunch breaks.
This is a video of the Combe Laval I did four years ago........ for my records

Wilbur, I know I could look to check on Google Earth, but (in your opinion) would these routes be suitable to do in a car?.
Yes - with the appropriate caution for blind corners etc. The locals use them.
Many of these roads were originally built to bring timber down from the plateau for various industries, including iron works, so they were for horse and carts.
It is a truly spectacular region with lovely villages.
Thanks for that palHere is a route that I did last year centred on Le Camping Moto.

Simples - get yourself booked into the Hotel Le Marronier in Rencurel for next Spring/Summer and you will have a blast in the Vercors - been there done that, a few times - fabulous place

Great choice for a hotel - waypoint 24 on my little route
Gorge du Nan is my favourite down in the Vercors Region.
The hotel Marronnier in the village Rencurel is the place to stay.Great hotel for Motos and all things Velo.
Recommend by UKGSER operatives back-in 2022.

I first went there in 2007 just after Jean-Francois took it over from the two Dutch couples that used to own it - Jean-Francois has now retired and his daughter now runs it I believe - I keep meaning to return but haven't been back since Covid - maybe next Summer
She was indeed running it, when I went during the Covid epidemic.
Agreed and a nice view on a hot summers day by the swimmers in the pool.Simples - get yourself booked into the Hotel Le Marronier in Rencurel for next Spring/Summer and you will have a blast in the Vercors - been there done that, a few times - fabulous place
Big hairy men of course.

Agreed. Le Marronnier is fabulous and the perfect base .
Been three times now
Gorge du Nan is probably my favourite too
Here’s a couple of the day outs we did .

Thinking of Le Mans and Monaco first and balcony roads back up to Chunnel
not places I would choose for a motorcycling holiday
I was down Verdon in 2007 and travelled in all directions; boy was it hot that year;I first went there in 2007 just after Jean-Francois took it over from the two Dutch couples that used to own it - Jean-Francois has now retired and his daughter now runs it I believe - I keep meaning to return but haven't been back since Covid - maybe next Summer
One of others wants to do them so y not
May as well whilst down there
has your mate looked at the location of Le Mans on a map? Hardly, "down there". Of course, if you are using St Malo, it might be on the way, but from Calais or Rotterdam (noting you are up north?
