I'm Jérémy, i'm from south France.
Along the Italian border, in that case, you are in the best part of France for mountain driving.

Great scenery as I have driven all the passes from Martigny to Nice: St. Bernard, Petit St. Bernard, Vars, Telegraph, Galibier, d'Izoard, Bonette, etc. on a motorcycle of course. A few of my ~240 different passes driven in the Alps & Corsica. Roads to die for. :thumbup: Lucky you!

I know the 924 well as I worked at VW at the time and I remember the transition from the 914 to the 924
How much i understand you ! I'm a motorcycle rider too, I love sport bike
We have a wonderfull region and it's a big pleasure to can drive all along the year
Maybe we'll see once !
Not on a motorcycle unless I rent one. I sold my Canadian plated 2003 BMW R1150 GS Adventure that I kept in Europe to a rider in Spain a few months ago. So after 27 year of riding Europe, the Alps & Corsica (on this and other BMWs), it is time to move on and ride the far less technical roads back home in the US and Canada.

If you are north of Nice, I drove a backroad (M59 & D428) from La Bollinette on the M2205 to the Gorges du Cians on the D28 through Illonse and Pierlas. Unbelievable ultra narrow road. It reminded me of the D roads in Corsica.
