well then its either Hautes-Alpes, Alpes-Hautes Provence or Alpes Maritimes I guess

Indeed, it is one of those departments. The one that doesn't have "Hautes" in its name, to be a bit more precise. :)

 

Is it in the valley of the river "La Tinée"?

 

How close do you have to be to be in the valley?  I'd have to say no.

 

 

Well I'd say anything which can "see" the river itself is the valley :D

 

How about this, does the vally in which this is located have a D-road or a M-road running thruw it?

Yes. But aren't almost all roads down there either D-roads or M-roads? I guess a few of them are N-roads or E-roads. :)

The name of the road is in the format "D##", where each # is a number. I guess you would call that 2 numbers.

 

Peggy has been watching all the caravans drive by with long sticks on their roofs. I'm told that the sticks might have been skis. (hint hint)

seeing as we are in the Alps and the road goes up, its kinda obvious that there is a ski resort somewhere >_>

 

still can't really see something fitting the picture, lets refine ourselfes even more:

- I am thinking its North West of Alpes-maritimes, correct?

- Can you tell us what the elevation (roughly) is of te pic taken (I see you took it in google earth)?

Yes, you're right, that would have been a better clue for maybe after the first or second guess ^_^

Yes, it is in the northwest part of Alps-Maritimes.

- Can you tell us what the elevation (roughly) is of te pic taken (I see you took it in google earth)?

Sure, the road is at an elevation of around 1550m.

 

 

 

Here's another hint that might help a little bit… in addition to the skis, Peggy has also seen the occasional electric six-seater golf cart.

Is it above or below Parc National de Mercantour?

In this map of that park, the desired D## road is in the light green zone (Aire optimale d'adhesion). Google Maps mark that as part of the park, while Bing Maps only marks the dark green zone as part of the park. So depending on your interpretation, the road in question is either inside or below the park.

Got it, darn this was a difficult one, I have gone over that road 2 times already but never made the connection with the pic. Must be my tendency to think turns are less then they look.

Indeed! You've found Peggy again :awesome:

Peggy is lost again! She is waiting by the historic landmark depicted by this watercolor painting. What is the city and type of building? (Thanks, Photoshop watercolor filter!)
