St Crepin requires a high approach due to a very strong downdraft when passing over the Durance river during final approach. Many beginners get caught. The reference altitude over St Crepin church should be 1150-1200m, carry on steadily as in the movie but you should be much higher, then once above the river pull all brakes out and point your nose down to the V. A good final approach into St Crepin should be much steeper than the one in the movie.
