We would like to spend some time driving through the eastern region of France through the regional parcs. This will be mid May, so realize snow may be an issue. Thinking staying outside Briancon might be a good spot for a couple of nights.
However looking at our very detailed map, most roads in Mercantour are all switchbacks. I’ve driven the Fijords and the Almalfi, so am not afraid of winding roads. But it is also tiresome and nice to keep it to just a couple of hours in a day. Mix in some hiking and lunches at great little inns.
I’m finding it very difficult to find much information on routes, places to stay, etc.
Although we typically like at least two nights in a stop, perhaps this is a trip where we need to stop one night in 4 places to keep the driving down to a manageable length everyday.
Any thoughts on this and/or good guide book? We are mid-60’s seasoned travelers.
