Italy into France

Our drive from Lake Garda in Italy became particularly interesting through the Italian/French Alps. Spectacular!
We drove through the Frejus Tunnel, which is 8 miles long! The Italy/France border is halfway through the tunnel and it cost 64.50 Euros for the privilege!!

Once in France, we found a carpark to stay at, next to a lake at Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, just outside of Lyon. And of course, we heard the very sad news of the Queen's death.
