Route Napolean from Grenoble
I'm traveling a section of the Route Napolean and would like opinions on expected drive time between Grenoble and Castellane, including a few quick stops on the way including at least 45 minutes in Sisteron. Is 6 hours about right for a comfortable drive?

thanks in advance

6 hours seem fine but it depends on the season (weather and traffic conditions in winter).

Thanks Pvoyageuse, the trip is in planning and will be early June next year, I assume road conditions will be fine at that time of year?

Cheers Pvoyageuse,
Going off topic here, but would you be familiar with the roads of col du galibier and alpe d'huez?
