Italy Road Trip Freedom & Variety: Last Minute Hotels, Top Attractions, & Off the Beaten Path

Road-Trip to Amalfi Through France, Switzerland & Italy If there is one thing that makes a road trip worthwhile, it is most definitely the  freedom to go where the wind takes you, and I mean that metaphorically, because another major draw to the road trip holiday is that you can actually escape bad weather like wind. Rain also - and we did. Our choice to book just our first hotel in advance, and no others until we were there meant that we could leave early, stay late, and simply do as we pleased until we had to get the ferry home to the UK! Beaune, France Our first stop was brief but extremely pretty. Beaune's passion for everything wine is wonderfully expressed in the Musee du Vin de Bourgogne with everything from antiquated tools and ancient wine bottles through the ages, to detailed information on tasting and wine production in Burgundy. Beautiful wine boutiques and surrounding vineyards also make Beaune a fantastic wine-lovers' destination. Geneva, Switzerl
