hats off to you Mitchy , , been all around france & the ferries to corsica/sardinia have always tempted me , , , curious as to the costs ?
what's your budget ? £2k all in ?

i only spent £1200 last year
3500 euro miles will suck £1k from the wallet ? 16 budget nights £500 ? multiple ferries ? ?
costing up & planning is all part of the pleasure :)
think i,d be factoring in some autoroute action though , , some terrific tarmac for when you just wanna cruise & cover some miles

Cost of trip
All hotels bed & breakfast some half board
Self catering chalet right on beach [Corsica] 3 days
All ferries
£900

Fuel
3500m dived by 30 mpg = 117
£1.50 per litre x 4.5 = £6.70 per gallon
117 gal x £6.70 = £800

Total plus a bit of spending £2000

Did 9 countries last year 4780 miles cost around £2700 which included around 240 euros in tolls which I should avoid this year :wink:
