Drive onto this lane, which can be fairly busy at times and, with caution, ride correctly on the right. After 4 km, enter Saint-Clément-sur-Durance. Cross the village and, after crossing the bridge over the Durance, turn right towards Saint-André d'Embrun.
This is followed by some gentle ascents and descents along the banks of the Durance, taking in the beautiful views. You will also pass through several hamlets before reaching the foot of Saint-André d'Embrun.
Continue straight on, staying on the D994d, towards Embrun. Continue for 4 km and, at the STOP sign, turn right and cross the Durance on a metal bridge (wooden floor) towards the citadel of Embrun.
Finally, take the last ascent back to the starting point.
