- The plan is to travel down the west side of France stopping in the Loire Valley, Bordeuax, Pau and the Pyrenees.
- Then, into Spain and a leisurely drive down to Barcelona, stopping at Benasque on the way.
- Following the Spanish GP at Barcelona, we will be heading off north back into France to Millau to see the bridge.
- From here we have to skirt round Cevennes National Park to see the roman aquaduct at Pont Du Gard.
- Then it's a case of hugging the south coast of France to Italy, visiting Saint Tropez, Cannes, Nice and Monaco on the way.
- OK, so now we are in Italy, a first for us both. Well be travelling round the coast into Tuscany. Visiting Pisa and Florence. And generally hanging around in Tuscany.
- When we eventually get bored with Tuscany, it's off to Venice for some culture and ice cream!
- And then a bit more of Italy before we enter Slovenia.
- We'll spend around 4 weeks in Slovenia (google maps doesn't route plan so no link!) before heading back into northern Italy.
- Of course, when around northern Italy you really must do Lake Garda and Lake Como!
- This is where we enter Switzerland and head for Interlaken and Grindelwald.
- And if we have time, a trip down to Geneva to visit friends not seen in over 10 years.
- Then it's up, through the Naturparks in Germany.
- And finally, 1 more country before heading back for the ferry: Belgium
