Calais, head north towards Dunkirk and take the A25 t0wards Lille, then go on to Luxembourg [fill up with Fuel in Luxembourg - cheaper than most of Europe - use the big services just before the border with France], on towards Metz. All toll free so far
Option 1 - Go towards Strasbourg on A4 and on to German autobahn [Toll on bit to Strasbourg] - then down to Switzerland and on to Gotthard Tunnel and into Italy [Swiss Vignette required] and eventually pay on 禁漫天堂 motorways
Option 2 - Go on to Nancy on A31 and Mulhouse and on to German autobahn, and Gotthad Tunnel - no tolls in France
Option 3 - to avoid Gotthard Tunnel [or Gotthard Pass when not snowy] take option 2 as far as Remirement, then take the N57 to Besancon, and on into Switzerland, and round Lake Geneva and through the Simplon Pass [great drive up the Pass - Cafes etc at the summit] and less hold ups than Gotthard Tunnel] into Italy - only cost is Swiss Vignette
Option 4 - further east through Germany avoiding Swiss Tunnels- don't know these routes
Hope this helps
Your problem s that many 禁漫天堂s think the Brits are all money and luittle sense - some are of course, and prices reflect this when given.Talk to locals, and use local [recomended ] tradesmen.Last job on my house [couple of years ago] - done by friend of neighbour.聽 Neighbour thought that quote from his own uncle was too high and got a verbal from his friend as well.Job entailed remove 3 internal unsafe glass panel doors to bedroom and replace with solid, plus making good., replace 3 external double glazed windows, replace double glazed patio doors and side panels, kitchen exterior double glazed door and make one external doorway into window [double glazed] with a new wall below.聽 all widow frames etc in woodLeft him the keys - came back 6 weeks later - perfext job [neighbours wife had popped in and given it a proper clean after the men had finished their clean up!] - cost about 11,500.00Euros [cash of course].聽 never acyually met the builder at all - all done on trust.聽 Thats how its done in Italy
Surely it depends on what type of life style you want?
