Hi All

Trying to get away for around three to three and a half weeks late May and travel down to Italy, back into southern France, then home.

So do any of you have any route suggestions and stop off suggestions for the trip down to Italy?

Would you go through Germany and then the alps as a change to France?

If the alps, then what's the score with tolls/ vignette/ go boxes?

Just really thinking about alternatives to France as will be coming back that way.

Oh, will have a 4 year old with us so child friendly suggestions will help.

Thanks

Hi

Last year we went down through Germany were on way to italy but dad died just before we got into Austria so had to head back but a good route is to head to Fussen great campsite over looking the german side of Tirol called camping Hopfensee en route to there we stopped at an ACSI site in Hemsbach nicely located nextro a municipal park and lake can't give you anymore info beyond Fussen as I say we had to head back but it was a nice route down we were on way to lake Garda

Hope this helps
Cheers

Hi we went, Calais in to Belgium then Luxembourg, no tolls this way until you go back into France at Metz, cross into Switzerland at Basel, pay your HGV tax, (around £30 for 14 days I think) Then straight through to Milan. Didn't use campsites, just stopped one night on a M/Way aire.
