This elongated massif is bisected by some spectacular gorges, and its chalky white summit is home to a wild and hauntingly beautiful nature reserve. But it is from the surrounding regions, the secluded Trièves in the east, and the lavender rich Drôme valley in the south, that the full splendour of the Vercors' fortress walls can perhaps best be appreciated.</font></h4> http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/Features/Europe/France-The-Vercors-Limestone/france-alpssouth-24416/128500066_xN8ST-Ti-1.jpg http://paulsmit.smugmug.com/gallery/2450262_s6hh3/ 2008-11-27T22:11:09Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
