Question
Hi Carla

We would like to plan a road trip from Calais. We will ctach the ferry from England. We have 7 nights and ideally would like to drive down to the south of France. Can you advice us on a route that would be most scenic to get down to Monaco and Nice. We are not looking for museums or cities, are more intersted in the scenery.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Lisa

Answer
Hello Lisa!

The regions of Champagne and Burgundy are both lovely, imho (and offer great things to eat and drink, of course:-)).

Once you have arrived in the south of France, don't miss the spectacular Gorges du Verdon, http://www.provenceweb.fr/e/groupes/verdon/pays.htm

Bonne route!
