Hi Debs,

Looks like a great adventure, on the way back do you "need" to do Toulouse etc? As I would suggest you take " Route Napolean" from Monaco to Grenoble a great motorcycling route and then pick up your route at Poitiers, do not miss Tours, I was there last week, beautifully clean, an arrow straight 3 mile High St/ tramway, I couldn't stop over as was bashing down to Southern Spain,but somewhere I will go back to on another trip.

Enjoy your trip

Toulouse is on the way down..

The route from Oradou-sur-Glane to Nice may change as the time gets nearer.. All depends what routes others can suggest..

Can you show me on google maps the route you mean.

Agreed - Route Napoleon is a must

[Debs]

Amended route to take in Route Napolean.

Hi Debs,

You won't regret it, I don't know if you have a Go-pro or similar but you will get great footage, the roads and the scenery are magnificent. That can sometimes be my near downfall, making " good progress" along fantastic roads but wanting to take in the scenery as well.

Regards Coman

Hi Debs

The Tarn Gorge is not far off your route and is very beautiful

I have a Drift Ghost HD to capture all my adventures.

I had a look for that and I will save that for another day. Maybe with Rusty in 2017

On the outward journey, consider the B500 from BadenBaden south.  Good hotel near there is Hotel Ochsen http://www.ochsen-kork.de/ the owner Armin, is brilliant and very pro-bike.  Good food, good beer!

Also looking at the way you're heading, another good stop is Fussen on German/Austrian border.  The Neuschwannstein Koenigschloss is here and worth a look.  http://hotel-huberhof.com/index.php/de/ is on the outskirts and is excellent.  The food is so good that the locals travel in to eat there.  The other hotel I use is a bit more basic but good and is in the centre of the town http://www.brauereigasthof-braeustueberl.de/

Im not going that way. Im going down France first.

If you can avoid Lyon.
It's a big city built into several river valleys and the roads are a mess.
Traffic jams are guaranteed any time between 05:00 and 21:00.

If you can work the Stevio Pass into the trip that's a beautiful part of north Italy with a scary road!!
After riding that you'll have had your workout for the day.
