Last time was 2 years ago in autumn, hoping it's as good this time round as it was last driving

Are you enjoying it! driving
We did it in our roadster in September - superb
A detour over to the Verdon Gorges is a must as well!

Enjoy - the last time I drove that was years ago and the level crossings were more like Evel Knievel's take off ramps if you hit them at speed. Have they smoothed them out since?

This. Did it last year.



Enjoy! smile

Watch out on your overtakes. Got told off for crossing a single unbroken line (pulled over by an unmarked Citroen and had to be taken back to the police station to pay 80 Euro fine!)
