My wife and I took that path going the other way (from Menton to Lake
Geneva), in our Healey in 2001. We were touring Europe in our Healey over
the summer in 2001 with a bunch of other Healey drivers (included Tom and
Jan Felts). Most of the other drivers took Napoleons road (less high
passes), but we had a great time doing the High Alps.
Gorgeous trip,...just watch out for the crazy bicyclists.

Has anyone tried the "Route des Grandes Alpes"? Starts on Lake Geneva & goes
south through the Alps via the high passes and thence to Menton on the Med
near the Italian border. I may be doing it next year. See site, below. Looks
interesting, though it helps if yr car is this side of the Atlantic?
