To be honest Pisa was a big disappointment for me. Even the buildings are not straight proving that cowboy builders are not a 21st century thing. I liked Paris though.

We are aiming for Sestri Levante for old times sake via the route Russell and Frank are advocating. Taking maybe a week to get there, via Lake Maggiore and Gotthardt pass. Don't intend big mileage each day either, meander nomadically as we always do, normally at about Plan G clause 4 para 8 by the time we've completed the trip.
We can't use aires as we have "no sans ess" as they say in the C&CC books.
Leaving Dover June 9th.
Aida at Verona booked for opening night June 20th.
Django Reinhardt festival at Samois sur Seine on 27th/29th June.

Than ks Zeb, I know of it of course but it's a bit out of the way as "planned". We return to Calais via M.Blanc tunnel then up France to the festival which is near Fontainblue.

Just a thought for Hampshire or anyone else contemplating a similar trip.
Are you aware how expensive the tunnel tolls are?
Or how beautiful the passes are! Most of the terrifying hairpin bends have long since been smoothed out, and the gradients are generally not a problem. If you've never done it, you should go over at least one high pass - and not for the cash saving either!!
