Hi

Me and a mate are venturing into mainland eu for a weeks road trip on our bikes this June.
We are both familiar with driving in the eu but not riding re the laws etc and what to be aware of.


One thought was to ride the scenic route down to Monaco and stop over on route in a hotel.

We've got 7 days in total so time is limited.

Any tips, idea's and advice greatly welcome

thanks

If you don't fancy too many peaks on the run down towards Nice, try the N85 (Route de Napoleon) from Digne south through Castellane.

Learn the signs for "priority on the right" and pay close attention always.

Have a good one.

Monaco is nice but noyhing special on a bike imo.

I'd go to the alps if it was me, then home via the black forest.
