4/5 day euro trip - best roads possible?

[matt3001]

After suggestions for a September road trip, max 5 days but ideally 4?

Want to include 'that' photo of Reims. And also a visit to the huge car museum near Strasbourg.

Where else can we go? Obviously the point of the trip is mainly driving - 2 of us in toys etc.

Route suggestions?

With only 4 days you want to avoid days spent "traveling" and get on with "driving". I'd head for the Vosges mountains. Good, quiet roads and not too far south.

Is that around the area of Rally Alsace?

We usually stay in StDie for a night on our way south and spend the next morning in the Vosges before heading on towards the Alps.

we did 5 days a few weeks ago.
Eifel Region ( 'Ring), Black Forest, Alsace and back. about 1300 miles 'the other side'....oh and we did Reims, with a Le Mans type start with 19 cars.......

I have a 4-day route that takes in the Cite de l'Automobile in Mulhouse, Reims, Vosges, Black Forest and Stuttgart. PM me for details.

When in the area the WWI memorial in Verdun is a highly worthwhile if sobering visit.

One of the very best stretches is the N10 that follows the northern border between Luxembourg and Germany - a lovely, long and flowing road that winds through the picturesque Moselle valley. Highly recommended.

Just for comparison, how would this area compare with Wales, The Lake District or Scotland? Roads, food and accommodation all relevant.

And don't forget weather.

@1900hrs currently 31 Celsius in Colmar.

Similar but quieter (wider roads than lakes) and the locals tend to let faster car past. Don't recall seeing police around either.
