Driving the D211A, France

Driving the D211A in France, also known as Auris balcony road or Route de la Roche. I drove from La Garde to Le Freney-d'Oisans. This road doesn't deserve just a number! The awe-inspiring balcony road overlooks the Romanche valley from high above and is definitely the longest balcony road I've driven so far. Much advised if you're looking for a fun drive!

I can't speak English. I can only use translation I'm from China. Thank you very much for providing such a high-quality driving film, so that I can more truly understand the scenery of Europe.

[@ramoncastillo2903]

I loved it! Thank you very much for taking the time.

The views in the video during 6min to 12mins are spectacular.

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

Oh yezzzzzz the most spectacular locations to enjoy cycling, every school and every teenager need to enjoy this amazing adventure, is unforgettable, now that there are electrical bycicles available, everybody get in action, discovering the Holy Creation because such a heavenly bliss indeed

Thanks! I have traveled a lot in the Alps, for 2020-2021!!! I'm glad to see new videos! Alpine Switzerland, France, Italy! This is my love! Thanks! I hope to travel again. As always behind the wheel.

There are tons of similar roads everywhere in France. Like this one, with a 40 tons truck : kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6PblqmsecRqZsU

Truly an incredible road, well driven, on a gorgeous day in the Alps. Thanks!

[@sushirob1972]

I just drove it (by mistake) last week and there are certainly sections that are white knuckle terrifying! Really amazing that a road could have been built here at all. Next time I will take the valley road from Les 2 Alpes to Alpe D'Huez. The only road scarier may be the Les Travers (D220) across the valley!

[@koomky]

Thanks from France, You have also many roads like this one in the Alpes and the Pyrénées Mountains behind Nice, for example, which are also interesting to film and drive . Have fun. You video has something relaxing due to the pictures and the sound of the car ! It's really good !

where did you mount the GoPro? behind the wind screen or outside? white balance isn't perfect, what is the reason , any idea?

[@JeanThevenet]

are these the true colors? 5500k? I am surprised by this golden light as for the Grand Colombier pass. I also have the GoPro8 and in flat color mode it is still a bit more colorful than the real thing. It is a light that does not exist in Reunion, except perhaps when the volcano smokes us.

[@martian9999]

I would say it looks quite natural to me. The Alps are incredibly beautiful on a sunny autumn day, when the air is crisp and less hazy than in the summer. (Don't know what season this was filmed in, it just looks Septemberly to me, could be June though as well).

[@jeromebano1125]

[@alwantamalus3709]

Very nice and silent Trip. 👍 D211A...D is for Departemental route, I think this route isn't departemental, it's communal or even Rural (that's why it's very narrow). Departemental routes are much wider (for big circulation). If I'm not wrong At 0.24 you leave the départemental route.

[@hanshuiskes6241]

Why driving so fast ?

[@xXDrocenXx]

It's a mountain street(only saw the thumbnail) and that means, drive it like a hill climb race track. In the limits of your track, I only get to the other lane when I can see clearly there comes nothing. I would say, in an border area, so that the police let you drive away but also you have some fun. Never the less never head less. When you can't overtake or it's to many traffic, you let it. Never get you our other in problems, this can be a family what you might cut. But when you have clear drive, I would drive in all this limits to have a little fun. It's just normal to me... Greetings from Austria 😉

[@fparent]

Are you driving a Tesla? I can hear a regen noise when slowing down. Amazing drive btw.

[@gerarddorle7141]

La voiture roule trop vite !

[@fabdar5420]

Superb video, as always 👍 Can I ask what is your setup ? Where is the cam, the mic (no sound from the inside) ?

[@RoadtripThroughTheLens]

Thanks! I mounted a GoPro with a suction cup on the roof of the car and have a microphone in the "frunk". Still not super happy about the audio quality since it's muffled a lot in the frunk, but it's the best place I could find at the moment.

The truly strange thing when driving there is, that there is a lot of traffic. When I did this street on my motorbike August 2021 I met three trucks and more than a dozen cars comming contrary. Luckily I was always on the hill side. The strangest thing was, that there also children were driving their bycicles litterally aside a drop of vertical 500 meters!
