Driving Tour Taste of French Riviera before heading to Switzerland

Curious of any thoughts on a potential brief driving tour to have a taste of the sights of the French Riviera prior to heading to Switzerland. Only have a couple of days for a scenic drive. We will come back with more time to stop and visit so this would be just an opportunity to drive a few scenic roads in the area. It might be fun to drive through the Monaco tunnel, but I am not sure we will make it that far east.

Have searched the RS forums and found some notes. Also, I am getting a copy of Back Roads France. Have also used the viamichelin discovery map, but it shifted a 10-12 hour trip to a 19 hour one.

if you want to drive through the tunnel for Formula 1 reasons you should know that the normal traffic is opposite to the direction in the race.

and a lot slower.

You can get over most of the course in normal driving though.

Head up the Corniches through, and be careful when driving on them.
