Morning all

A chap I know through social media - wants to plan a drive down from Cherbourg to Genoa - he wants to get a cruise from there - so needs to park his car down there while he goes

to quote him exactly

"I have to drive from Cherbourg (France) to Genoa (Italy). Does anyone have any experience of such an adventure? Looks like a hotel half way is a basic requirement etc. but is it a toll hell too (France usually is)...

Then, in Genoa I need parking (Going on a cruise) so if anyone knows the "right place" etc. do tell... thanks"

Has anyone ever done such a journey - I don't know the route personally - but would have thought youd need 2 overnights not 1.

All tips very greatfully received - and I realise that obviously the other option is to fly but I guess this is the way he wants to work it

Thank you guys

Thanks for the replies - much appreciated.

Probably should have mentioned it at the start - apologies - but hes from Ireland - so Cherbourg may have been chosen due to ferry crossing direct between Ireland and France.

I did wonder if doing it with just one overnight stop would be ambitious - but not knowing the route overlooked it when he mentioned it

Thanks again guys
