Found >this< well made video on U-Tube. I think even seasoned travellers will find at least some of it of interest.

I thought the route planning was bit on the OCD side ...  I set my sat-nav & follow it using a bit of common sense ... certainly don't go to street view

Well there you are embarassed

I didn't get far with the film but if the man with the little dog on a cushion in his van was showing people how you can take the animal on a lead to go and see the Impressionist paintings in the Musee d'Orsay, or go up the cable car to the top of the Aiguille fu Midi, or look around  the Duomo in Pisa ...then perhaps it was useful after all.

After the euphoria of watching the dog at the beginninglaughing I settled down to watch the remainder of the video, well made and informative for those that might take the first step over the water. You could have skipped the beginning and perhaps picked up a few tips wink

And also realised they were going to Portugal...slightly off the beaten track for Parisian Museums and the Duomo in Pisa. Bit of a detour for that Eurotraveller? undecided

Thanks for the info Peedee, Andrew Ditton and Dougal are a good team. smile

You can hardly use common sense if you did not know what town your heading for.

Unless I missed it, I did think he could have mentioned carrying paper maps for back up and ease of looking at the overall route.

He did suggest writing down a list of towns etc on the route, particularly if you are on your own and haven't got a passenger who could help.

Whether travelling as a couple or alone via Michelin is my guide.  I make sure the route selected using Michelin is the correct one entered in the sat nav.
