Citroënesque Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi I'm in the process of planning the (May) 2012 Citroën Classic Challenge tour and have a question. Someone here might be able to give me an update.Apparently the well-regarded route D518 St. Marcellin to Die (Les Grands Goulets / Parc du Vercors) is closed since heavy landslides/rockfalls a few years back pending repairs. Has it reopened yet (or is it imminent)? Is there a recommended detour (and what is it?). Any advice/news welcome.Many thanks,Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyh4 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Grands Goulets is closed - at least it was 2 years ago - and frankly I doubted if it would reopen. There is a tunnel bypass to Les Barraques - impressive engineering, if somewhat lacking the views. Via Micheline seems to show however that the route is open, so I have to say that I am uncertain.Alternative routes might be the Bourne Gorge from Pont en Royans - also has been subject to rock falls near the Corranche - or Combe Laval - very spectacular engineering.
