From Dover to London... via Toulon!

All,
Here's a few photos from a most pleasant and recent trip I took to France. Even though I ended up booking up everything last minute, I had been waiting to do this drive for a long time

What I did was take the ferry to Calais then stay home (Paris) for a couple of nights / place vMog in safe hands on the auto-train to Toulon / ride the TGV down South / get the car the morning after, safe and clean / drive down South (a lot!) / go back slowly to Calais, avoiding motorways, passing through Nimes [sigh], staying at my parents for a week, and basically : ENJOYING THE RIDE !!!

I'll take this opportunity to recommend a couple of scenic drives which I found both eye-bopping and mind-blowing (in French

) :
- DN8/D96/D7N From Toulon to Aix-en-Provence via Le Castellet
- D559 From Toulon to Marseille via Cassis
- D979 From Nimes to Uz�s (from there, must pay visit to St-Quentin en Poterie village)
- N106 From Al�s to Mende (C�vennes + Gorges du Tarn)
- D941 From Clermont-Ferrand to Pontgibaud (Volcano area)
- D925/D940 From Dieppe to Baie de Somme

Hope you like it!
I'm here if you need any further details on any of these drives

Cheers,
Vladimir

I've always enjoyed French trains and merging them with enjoying the Mog is a stroke of genius. Andy PS.
