I drove the entire Riviera coast last summer from from Cerbère to Monaco. Some of it was really beautiful. Most was concreted over, with thousands of people and rarely a natural space compared to when I lived there in the eighties. I'm glad there's still a lot of trees, they were -apart from the ocean- the main visual link to the place I once knew.
I finally got down to Monaco this year,to see how the other half live.... Organised Chaos springs to mind,but definitely an experience... We stayed just outside of Monaco,so just a tad quieter,and a hell lot cheaper. First time there,so I've not got a year on year comparison,but Route Napoleon,along with Combe Lavel and Clue d'Aiglun was absolutely awesome !!!! Roll on 2026
I always put together a photo book of our ‘big’ holidays soon after I get back. We just returned from 3 weeks in Japan and the book is printed, hard when I had to pick from 1,800 pics I took! Loved the cool dude in the Honda Cub I saw, so many wonderful places.
I’ve only just seen this. Looks an interesting trip. Would have liked to h@ve seen a few more pics while you were on the trip. Any road up, the European Multi Meeting is heading our way soon and I’m very much looking forward to it. More stories
