Boy where to start, #1. "the loop" perhaps is the best I have done with my many years in France. Starting from Annecy to Grenoble is a fantastic drive.
then on to #2. the route " Napoleon" all the way down to Castellane and #3. the Gorge Verdon.
#4.From there to the coastal town of Frejus and Saint Raphael in the Cote d'Azur. ( My personal favorite place to stay on the coast)
#5. West to Avignon and Pont-Saint Esprit and the Ardeche gorge.
#6 North through the Massif Central area.. fantastic.
#7 north to Pont-en Royans ( fantastic village) and over the pass to Grenoble..stunning drive.
#8. Grenoble to La Tour du-Pin
#9. North to Geneve and the small roads to Bern.. beautiful
#10. Over the pass to Basel
Although the last part involves a bit of Switzerland, its beautiful none the less.
Brill. I may just have a go at that when I can get more than two weeks to do it in. I have spent 25 years going down to the SofFrance, sometimes 3 times a year and never get tired off it. Always excellent food throughout France and using a bit of experience get very good value for money.
Still toying with buying a house or a mobile home or not. Struggling with this conundrum for at least 8 years.
Hi Pusser, I often think that a house or mobile home in France would be fantastic. The I have to decide where, and that is the crunch. When in the Lot valley - that's the place. Same in the Tarn, Loire, Drome ...... etc. etc. etc. That's why I didn't reply to the original post in this thread - couldn't limit it to 10 places!
So I stick with the MH so I can enjoy where I am at the time, and if it is not quite up to scratch then I just move on.

That is the trouble. Spot on. I think the day I buy a house will be the day I see somewhere nicer and wish I had that.

Hi Pusser. Yeah I went through that myself for the last 10 years...and I finally sold my house to my kids, and have ordered my new MH. ( comes in march)
I'm 3 years from retirement, and the wife and I will eventually live full time in it.
Cant wait to do the "Cote" this season...whooa!

I envy you in many ways but I don't think I could hack full timing. I think my limit would be 3 week timing although 2 weeks is the max I have ever done. I am too scared to do wild camping and don't like crowded sites or crowded beaches or crowded towns or crowded anything really and I think I suffer from some of acrophobia or just an anti social sod.
When you've planned your route, please do publish it on this site. Far from avoiding you we're going to follow you around with a film crew. I figure that if this years effort produces anything like the experiences you've had in previous years then It's a dead cert I'll be able to sell the footage worldwide and make myself a millionaire.
By the way - is Drummer going with you? That could help the project along very nicely if he doesn't mind having a camera mounted on top of his little car.
I volunteer! I volunteer!

. . . . I think I suffer from some of acrophobia or just an anti social sod.
Can't comment on the anti-social old sod Pusser, but I don't think you mean acrophobia.
Acrophobia is fear of heights. The one you want is agoraphobia - "Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder precipitated by the fear of having a panic attack in a setting from which there is no easy means of escape".
With this in mind, and purely out of curiosity, how do you manage in the truck loo?
Cheers
