Route Napoleon Advice

[nickz32]

Hey guys

Im looking at doing a trip down to Grenoble and the length of the Route Napoleon next year, probably around May or September (I had 3000 mile 14 day trip planned which I have had to postpone for a while due to family life) and have the whole trip over 4 days.

For those of you have had ventured that way, can any of you recommend any nice budget hotels in any of the towns the route passes through?

Cheers

I can recommend you DON'T use the premiere class at Chambery. The one in Nice isn't bad though.

We stopped at campanile at Grenoble before doing route napoleons then ibis at Menton both ok

Research "Chambres de Hote" on line, they're the French equivalent of bed & breakfast, they're every price, usually excellent value you tend to get what you pay for but I've used many and never been disappointed, you get to stay with French people in their homes, it turns the trip into real travel.

Nice bit of info there, think I'll be using that when I venture over this summer.

En route, we stayed in a lovely town called St Bonnet. We stayed in Hotel Le Connetable which was good value (very cheap!). I'd be happy to stop there again.

Great bit of advice!

may or September?

Sleeping bag fella, under the stars!! Plenty of places to pull off the road and chill for the night!

It's all right for you Darren, you can lay out full length on the back seat of the Jaaaaaag, ideal for a snooze.

I do that on the autoroute down there, set the sat nav and the cruise control then wake up for the interesting bit!!
