Hi, I did a very similar route what you have proposed. I would definately be including Grand St Bernard pass & the Col Du Turini.

Here is a link to my write up

Here is a link to the sticky at the top of the page in case you have missed it, it includes links to Euro road tripos that others have done and may give you some ideas.

Also, have a read of this thread, it is what gave me the ideas of the best roads to take around Geneva.

just realised the Cime/col de la Bonette peak We're going via on way to Nice is the highest pavement in France, at 2802m, and second highest in Europe!
