Recommendations Needed for Trip from Germany to Vence, France
 
I need your recommendations/suggestions.

I have a conference in Saint Paul de Vence, France from 29 July to 2 August. I’m currently looking for a place to stay in Vence, France for the week of the conference. I’m planning departing Aschaffenburg, Germany on 25 July and riding through the western Alps on the way down. I plan on riding through the western Alps on the return route.

Do you have any suggestions for the following?
- routes down and back
- passes to ride through
- lodging in route
- tires (I have a 2008 R1200GSA. I have Metzeler Tourances on now and in good condition. Are Heidenau K60 Scouts recommended?)
- anything else

Thanks.

Michelin Aschaffenburg Vence route planner

or, go to
viamichelin.com
plug in Aschaffenburg-->Vence
filter by
Motorcycle
sightseeing
avoid tolls
pick middle of 3 displayed route suggestions
supplement with Michelin or other paper maps, or your own instincts en route
adjust to taste
use also for possible accomodations en route
or just pick a hostel/ B&B/ Zimmer Frei/ campground en route
your tires are fine

Thanks for suggesting viamichelin.com. I have been using Google maps and have not used viamichelin.com in a long time. I had forgotten about it.

Same for me: it is weird how we get sucked into using one particular well-known brand and forget about the others.
