Just a thought… 
French Alps (but maybe Germany, too)
- Thread starter Doc
- Start date
I have amended the title.
Bods’ plans do change, especially when they start off maybe nine months early. As usual it all hinges on time / distances and what a fellow / his pillion wants to do. Depending on time and most particularly where in Germany Doc’s friend hangs his hat, it can all still work. For example, if the bod is near Munich, go down the Route Napoleon, come back up the Route des Grande Alps and then hightail across to Munich / Bavaria, as shown below. Doc needs to get back to the Dutch coast for his return ferry, so (depending on the variables) Germany can work….. to help more, he needs to tell us more.

If you're into Roman things, then Trier an hours ride up the Mosel is well worth a visit.

As one of Germany’s oldest cities, Trier was a Roman colony from the 1st century AD. It became one of the capitals of the Tetrarchy at the end of the 3rd century, when it was known as the ‘second Rome’. Its architectural achievements, like the massive Porta Nigra—the largest Roman gate north of...
Yes but a invite for both of us too go back later in the year so thought we could ride up from maybe Castellane. If we decide to go that is.
Sorted for my run down Wessie to Annecy then Castellane.
Cochem is over 600 miles north of Castellane.I’m not sure combining both is the greatest idea unless you’re planning to be away for at least two weeks ?
Slawit tut Alps 3 days.
Fucking around Alps 7 days.
Castellane tut Cochem 2 days
Drinking rosé 3 days
Cochem tut Slawit 2 days
So around 17 days minimum
My route would be:
Aim for somewhere like Fejus,
Work along the coast to Cannes/Antibes
Route Napoleon north, deviation off to Castellane and Gorges de Verdun.
Castellane to Annecy.
Annecy to Cochem (via eastern end of the lake)
Nice mix of coast, lakes and mountains, plenty of opportunities to find a base for exploring RDGA.
Save the detail planning until nearer the time!

Christ, you’ve confused the feck out of me, let alone Doc!
Especially seeing that he’s already booked a few hotels and planned routes between them.
Doc, it can work, if you’d like it to but (as usual) it’s dependent on the time you have available. One advantage is that Cochem is (vaguely sort of) in the right area for your return crossing. At least the fellow doesn’t live in Berlin or Passau.
I really must get some new specs.What, like Frejus?

Ah well, did say it was my choice of route.Christ, you’ve confused the feck out of me, let alone Doc!
Although I never stick to a planned route and wouldn’t book a hotel more than 6 hrs in advance.
To be fair the prospect of more than a day on sauerkraut and Wiener schnitzel would have me heading back to France anyway.
