Riding the route of Route de Presles (D292) is an awesome experience and it is considered as one of the most spectacular balcony roads in France.
A stunning 7km mountain road located in the Isère department in southeastern France, the Route de Presles is made up of a succession of open tunnels and passages, carved directly into the rock, resulting low and narrow lanes, blind corners and potential landslides.
The Route de Presles is certainly breathtaking and it has a fearsome reputation. There are not many roads like this in Europe, if you can handle the height and the prospect of a very long freefall this road absolutely has to be on the list of any road connoisseur.
