In a couple of weeks we're off to the south of France for a week in a lovely villa, after that we're spending a week roaming Europe. This will be the first time I've done it from the UK and back rather than flying out and hiring a car.

Whitesox - I have already practiced this! Although, mine's not white, it's black , which isn't helpful if you're doing it in the dark!

* If you're taking the tunnel, watch out for the height restriction bar which is set at 1850mm, height of a FFRR is 1820mm ( still managed to 'remove' the GPS aerial ).

Booked the tunnel for a car with roof box so will be fine on height

I cant go on the Euro Tunnel because I run LPG - but I can take a campervan with two great propane bottles in it... |

You must drive into St Tropez and have a coffee and a crepe by the port - the place is next to the tourist info centre and has red Canopies. Some of the boats are impressive. Also a walk around is great. Port Grimaud is ok as it is man made. Also must take the mountain roads just outside Cannes - have a Coffee in the Carlton. Although Monaco is great some of the villages outside like Menton etc are worth a visit. As you leave some of the villages and start heading out along the coast roads it is good to stop and have a look from high up down to the ports - Menton i think ?
