Scenic drive from the movie "Ronin"
OK, the great John Frankenheimer movie with Robert de Niro, Jean Reno,
Sean Bean, Jonathan Pryce and many others.... is just great. There was a scene where after de Niro's character is shot, Reno's character takes him to the home of his mentor played by Michael Lonsdale. Anyway -- there is an aerial shot of them driving there, through a twisty road within some very interesting rock formations. Anyone know where that road is (presumeably in France) ?? Thank you, -- Dan Stephenson Photos, movies, panos from the Europe, USA, plus N.Z.: http://homepage.mac.com/stepheda (remove nospam from email address to reply via email) |

I remember some of the car chases being filmed in the city of Nice, which I'm familiar with. I seem to remember that the scenes you refer to being set in the nearby hilly areas in Provence. |

But the area I'm referring to looks like some kind of weird canyonland. -- Dan Stephenson Photos, movies, panos from the Europe, USA, plus N.Z.: http://homepage.mac.com/stepheda (remove nospam from email address to reply via email) |

Nice is surrounded by a mountaneous region with many small roads. Some kilometers north there is the Verdon river canyon, but I don't feel it will look impressive for Americans or Australians. Nice Emerald waters, beaches along the lake, refreshing in summer. http://www.moustiers.eu/le_verdon/index_en.php |
