Driving Sisteron to Grenoble -- which route?

Hello. Just wondering if anyone has any information or opinion on which route to take from Sisteron to Grenoble? We prefer the prettiest drive, but also one that won't take a lot longer than the most direct route. A little longer is fine. Thanks!

The prettiest route is Route Napoleon via Gap. Take A51 to the end to save a bit of time (scenery is equivalent), then N85 north towards Gap then Grenoble.
It does not take much longer than the direct D1075 - 25-30% longer perhaps?

We just did the drive and did not go through Gap. Took the freeway south out of Grenoble and drove through a beautiful mountain valley. Spectacular view

Thank you so much for your replies. Great to know both about the Napoleon Route and that the alternate freeway route is also beautiful. I appreciate the feedback!
