Knew the sat nav was making a mistake going via Paris. Not only was it busy, but the route took in a 2m high long tunnel section. Maybe newRead more

Have driven some beautiful roads and through cotes du rhone country to get here. Sadly, most of the caves were closed when I passed. Bit of research needed to find a good one to go to.
