The car
About this car in Lyon
Pont-en-Royans, about an hour and a quarter from Lyon, has houses hanging over the Bourne river from the cliff, and beyond it the roads of the Vercors climb through the Gorges de la Bourne and the Grands Goulets, cut into the rock.
Five places, a smooth 250-horsepower six-cylinder diesel, traction on all four wheels for the gorge roads and room for five medium bags: the Defender suits the day.
