I don't live in Europe/UK and I may be well out of date with this question, but I have an AA Touring Atlas for France (2001) in which the Mont Blanc tunnel south from Chamonix is marked as being closed till further notice.
Is this still the case?

Thanks for any help,
Pugwash.
I am pretty sure it is open now with a range of new safety measures
Hi Pugwash,
I've got an airport transfer booked between Geneva and Courmayeur (the Italian side of Mont Blanc) on 15th of this month. The tunnel bloomin' well better be open, otherwise it's going to be a long trip!
Seriously, no problems have been advised to me so all must be well at present.....

Thanks everyone, that's good news. I checked the link out and saw some (almost) realtime pictures of vehicles going into the tunnel so I guess it's open.
I discovered last Summer when motorcycling in this area that a return ticket through the Tunnel is less than 70% of the price of two singles. It was not obvious from the displayed information that return fares were available. I returned on the same day and mine mighthave been a day return, so period returns may be more costly.
The mountain passes around Mont Blanc (about 200 miles round trip, eight hours fast riding) provide exhilarating and challenging motorcycling but would be quite a gruelling challenge in a motorhome.
I seem to remember that parking in Chamonix was a nightmare - I even gave up and abandoned the attempt on my bike, so if there are any MH parking options for Chamonix it would be helpful to know about them in advance.

Park next to the lake/pond at Les Pelerons on the D243 then walk/cycle/catch a bus in.
