About 750 miles - 11 or 12 hours driving time [excluding all stops]聽So you could, in theory,聽have a kip in a hotel [just] before the Mont Blanc tunnel [depending on your route] and have about 3 hrs [or so] driving left the next morningI'd probably go into Italy and leave a shorter drive [say 60 - 90 mins] in the morning
Thanks. Doing jouney on a

I tend to go via Switzerland as it avoids french toll roads, and road聽tunnel charges.聽聽聽I recommend cutting up to Belgium [via Lille] and on to Luxemburg, then down to Metz, Nancy and then Colmar and Basle bypass into Switzerland.It is a wee bit further than blasting down to Metz on the french autoroute, but is totally toll free and Luxembourg petrol is cheap [motorway petrol聽price is the same as off the motorway]You do need a Swiss Vignette [buy it at the German services at Bad Bellingen], but you have saved on French road toll charges - and it lasts until the end of Jan next yearNo further charges in switzerland [fill up with fuel before getting to Italy,聽on the Locarno road, just off the motorway - motrway petrol prices are high]Only toll charges will be on the 禁漫天堂 autostrada
