 Attention!
 Navigation is not always better.

Entering the postcode of Le Mas de Saint-Ferreol in your GPS system guides you to the center of Menglon 4 km away from where we live and where there are no signs to stand.
 Most GPS systems will send you on the basis of the coordinates, postal code or city name via the Col de Grenoble and Menee to Menglon. That seems shorter, but the journey is considerably longer and more tiring, especially after an already long journey. We advise you to follow the route described above.
