pls suggest honeymoon route from marseille to uk!
Discussion
Hi - I am getting married in Tunisia later in the summer, and will be getting my bro to drive my lotus out to tunisia for me so that it can be used for the wedding. I have been thinking of then having our honeymoon as the drive back to the UK, ie a leasurely winding drive through france through some lovely scenery, interesting visits (some cultural, and if poss some petrol)and nice hotels/gites. My one constraint on the route is that I would like to spend a day or two at a house my parents own in the dordorgne. Overall it should take us a week or so, starting from when we get off the boat in Marseille.
I would be most grateful for suggestions of a nice route, ideas etc.
Thanks!

your an environmental consultant and own 3 cars one of them is a lotus.... sweet!! How do your tree hugger colleagues take that news?
My OH is soon to be one too, to the UN in Egypt and she frowns on any sports car... Im going to get a porker tho!!
Anyway thats a bit off track, is it just france that you thinking of doing or how about the alpine roads?

Haha I forgot I had put that info in there when I signed up! I didn't mention the motorbike though! In fact one of my tree hugger colleagues also has a lotus. I do get asked about how I reconcile my work with my petrol addiction, and there are numerous excuses available......e.g. you can only drive one of them at a time, the lotus has remarkably good consumption figures don't you know, er, the cars are all second hand so someone else caused the original manufacture emissions, I do so much good to the environment in my work that the cars are offset and then some, and finally, I am hardly ever in the UK to drive em!
Re the route - would be happy with alpine roads but that would take me quite a way from the dordogne, where I plan to stop for a day or so.
Good move re the porker. Let her frown! Ask her about the emissions from her frequent flights to Egypt!
cheers

Im doing the frequent flights to Egypt from the UK to see her, she just stays in Egypt as what amounts to slave labour after seeing the figures... all in the name of being a Environmental Consultant... Nasty piece of work the UN are for doing slave labour...Re the route - would be happy with alpine roads but that would take me quite a way from the dordogne, where I plan to stop for a day or so.

Dupont - brilliant thanks for the link I'll check it out. Wow I thought a job with the UN was a proper meal ticket - tax free, diplomatic passport etc etc....sorry it doesn't seem to be like that yet.
V8mate haha thanks for the nod. To be honest thought I had posted before, but that must have been on SELOC.
haha my trusty lotus has already done numerous international jaunts with no problems (famous last words - and it would be a nightmare having a honeymoon breakdown!). Perhaps camels is the way forward.
