I would be interested to see others members ideas of the ten most awesome places to visit in France as I want to make a route to a selection.

I particularly like mountains, rivers, lakes, gorges and last but not least, beaches or headland. I am not too fussed at present for historical or architectural places as I will do them when I become more adult.

Anywhere on the A40 after Geneva
Cote d'Azure late spring before it gets busy
Camargue before the bugs get busy
D940 Boulogne to Calais
South West of Bordeaux (general area)
Area around Saumur on the Loire

I am going to stick all these place on auto route and join them up and then where things seem to far off the beaten track, remove them until I end up with a perfect holiday which I certainly will take out of season as advised.

Thanks everyone and I will publish my proposed holiday when I get around to sorting it. This will allow other m\homers to avoid these areas while I am there.

Shocked

Bit late but here's my penny's worth:-

- Annecy - Old Town - Restaurant on fast flowing river that end up in lake
- St Palais sur mer - near Royan, mouth of Gironde - plateau des fruits de mer overlooking sea as sun sets - stunning
- top of Le Pic Blanc - mountain overlooking L'Alpe D'Huez in the winter - breathtaking - also the 21 turns of the Tour de France up to Alpe D'Huez on the way.
- Torreilles Plage near Perpignan - nothing special to many but to me precious as I have been going to a site here with my son for the past 8 years. Lovely beach, hot sun, good Catalan food.
- The coast road between Cannes and St Maxime - beautiful.
- Les Sables D'Olonne, Vendee - beautiful beach, great seafood
- Quiberon, South Brittany - wild sea, good food, fresh air
- last but not least Grenoble, because that is where my son lives.

Kevin
