For guests looking to break up their UK travel and start the tour completely refreshed, we offer an optional pre-tour crossing. We will arrange your Eurotunnel ticket for a relaxed crossing on Saturday afternoon or evening. You can then join us at our dedicated staging hotel located just a short drive from the Calais terminal. Enjoy a relaxing evening and a restful night’s sleep before our adventure officially begins.
After a relaxed breakfast, we rendezvous with any guests opting for the early Sunday morning train. Once the group is fully assembled, our first day on the road is all about munching kilometres. We’ll utilize the efficient French motorway network—perfectly timed on a Sunday to avoid commercial trucks—for a smooth run south. We will arrive at our first premium hotel stopover in the Burgundy region.
Leaving the wine country behind, we drop south to officially join the sweeping bends of the historic Route Napoléon. Timed perfectly on a Monday to bypass heavy weekend traffic, this spectacular road traces the emperor’s historic march through the mountains. By the afternoon, we will descend into the sun-drenched hills behind the French Riviera, checking into our luxury spa hotel basecamp in Provence for a three-night stay.
We have two full mid-week days in the Provence hinterland to spend exactly how you wish. We’ll be leading optional morning driving routes exploring the dramatic drop-offs of the famous local gorges or the fiery red volcanic rock of the coastal corniches. Alternatively, you can leave the keys in your room to enjoy the hotel’s spa facilities, or relax on a beach.
Today we leave our French hub and head into the mountains to tackle the incredibly tight, legendary hairpins of one of the region’s most famous rally stages. From the summit, you could drop down to Monaco to experience the iconic F1 tunnel and casino square. We’ll then take the stacked coastal cliffside roads across the border into Italy, arriving at our 5-star hotel on the Italian Riviera for a three-night stay.
The next two days offer the perfect mix of Dolce Vita glamour and technical driving. Join our optional morning routes either turning inland to the Ligurian Apennines and the rugged Italian coastline. If you prefer to relax, you can stroll the seaside promenade, lounge by the hotel’s pool, or take a short coastal drive to view private classic car collections or historic coastal towns nearby.
We leave the coast behind and drive north over the mountains toward the automotive capital of Piedmont. We offer two distinct routes today: a fast highway blast for an early afternoon access to an iconic, historic rooftop test track in the city, or a sweeping grand tour through the empty vineyard roads of the Langhe region. We reunite near the city center for a one-night stay at our hotel.
With empty mid-week roads ahead, we leave the city early and head west to climb a sweeping alpine pass, driving past its stunning summit lake. From here you can take various shortcuts if you wish to the pristine shores of Lake Annecy, checking into a magnificent hotel right on the water to begin a relaxing two-night stay by the lake.
A complete rest day for you to recover and explore at your own pace. You can stroll into the historic, cobbled town center of Annecy—often called the Venice of the Alps—take a boat out on the crystal-clear alpine lake, or simply relax by the water and enjoy the magnificent facilities at our hotel.
On our penultimate day, we leave the alpine lakes behind and set the cruise control for a fast, effortless highway run north. Bypassing Dijon, we make our way into the heart of the famous Champagne region. We will arrive with plenty of time to relax and reflect on our adventure before gathering together for a luxury farewell dinner overlooking the beautiful vineyards of Épernay.
On our final morning, we’ll enjoy a relaxed breakfast before hitting the road for the final leg of our journey. We make our way back north to Calais for our Eurotunnel crossings in the early afternoon. Traveling on a Thursday is perfectly timed to bypass the Friday getaway rush entirely, ensuring a smooth, stress-free return to the UK to comfortably conclude our unforgettable road trip.
