The scenery in this part of southeastern France, on the border of Italy, is sublime, 

 though desolate, but is rendered accessible by modern engineering in the construction of good 

 roads. This peak, by no means the highest, is one of the group of lofty summits lying 

 entirely within French territory. Among mountaineers its ascent is noted for its difficulties, 

 and to have climbed it is admission to exclusive mountain-climbing circles.
