We continue our drive in France climbing Col de la Bonette and the summit of the Cime de la Bonette at 2802 m, which is the highest paved road in the French Alps.
Near the top of the pass we nearly had an accident as there was a rockslide right in front of our car!

Col de la Bonette (el. 2,715 metres (8,907 ft)) is a high mountain pass in the French Alps, near the border with Italy. It is situated within the Mercantour National Park on the border of the departments of Alpes-Maritimes and Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. The road over the col is the seventh highest paved road in the Alps.
The two kilometre long teardrop shaped loop around the Cime de la Bonette peak (2,860 m (9,380 ft)) from either side of the pass is the highest paved through route in the Alps.
The road around the Cime de la Bonette reaches an altitude of 2,802 m (9,193 ft), but this is not a "pass", but merely a scenic loop. It is, however, the highest asphalted road in France and is the highest through road in Europe.
Map of the drive: not available at the moment on Google Maps as the pass is closed during winter times.
