Looking for some thoughts from those that might have been.
We are planning a 10 day trip down to southern France and then in to the alps at the end of the month to play with the new toy and do a bit of geocaching. We have a bit of a plan of what roads we want to drive at the moment but with the recent snow in the alps our plans might need some serious tweaking.
Our first night is in Reims on the friday and then the Saturday in Jausiers, we want to try and drive the col da bonnette on the sunday and then head either down in to Monaco and along the coast in to Italy or straight in to Italy. No hotels are booked yet anywhere after Jausiers so our plans can be changed easily.
The plan is to drive as many of the high alps road ducking in and out of Switzerland along to Austria and then back through Lichenstien in to Germany before heading home.
The only other thing we would like to do is possibly visit the mercedes and porsche museums towards the end of the week.
So does any one have any suggestions of where to head, place to visit or roads that we should not miss?.
And also given the recent weather should I consider a set of snow chains? We had hoped that the end of May would have been fairly safe weather wise but I'm now having doubts.
