- Real vs. fictional: The text does not name the real place; the pin is a best guess.
- Where is it?: ⚠️ best-guess. Clues in the text: “Through Sault and over dead man’s pass, aka Col de l’Homme Mort.”; route Sault then Sisteron then Forcalquier. Reference works: OSM Nominatim lists the Ferrassières pass (Drôme) near Sault; it is the only same-named pass in the Vaucluse/Drôme/Alpes-de-Haute-Provence area besides Vercoiran. Chosen: Col de l’Homme Mort (Ferrassières, Drôme) — Name-only match placed on the Sault side; plausible but not confirmed. Alternatives: Vercoiran (Drôme, 44.3001,5.3088) is the other nearby pass of that name.
