We had finally passed the spectacular and very narrow "Gorge la Pierre-Lys" and spent the night in "Les Eaux Tranquilles" (Chris is an outstanding host!) www.chambresdhote.com/index.htm We passed Quillan next morning and headed west. The D117 ascends steeply and there are some nice hairpin bends. Here we found "WE ARE MONGOLIA".
