If you prefer a city centre stop the Grand Hotel du Midi is okay. At one corner of Place de la Comédie the area should be lively enough for a Sunday. Secure parking under the square too.

Thanks for this, I am tasked with this hotel and struggling a bit

Thanks for the update Gents, are you planning to include an interim stop back to UK from Como? Ferry/Tunnel? Strasbourg for example?

We are trying to change it up a bit Ian. Some people might want to stay on in the lakes for a few more days, so we are going to leave the homeward leg open. Once we know who is doing what, we can sort out a group who want to travel back together.

 

[conaero]

Indeed as it stands there will be no home leg hotel nor ferry. I am sure like Zep says, a group will form nearer the time and include anyone who wants to. Mulhouse would be simple to book and a usual stop on these legs back home

 

[IanU]

Thanks Matt, Mrs U is interested in Petite France Strasbourg so that'll be our target stop over and the chunnel on the return crossing

I can highly recommend Colmar Old Town too

Our intention is to take a few days on the way back stopping for some wine tourism post Como - Beaujolais, Jura, Burgundy, Champagne? - en route.

 

[RoaryRati]

We're thinking of a really off-route return encorporating the German Alps route - as per my separate post (it's been on the to-do list for a few years)

German geography isn't your strong point is it? unless you like a long drive...

Well if you are going you may as well go.

That's a bit too eerie for me - I'd rather hunt for the sound of music instead!

 

[Harry]

Is that into the usual Sportsmaserati account ending ****7260? Malcom and Harry are a-comin’!

Any confirmation of which account we are meant to be putting our deposits in?

 

[IanU]

Likewise @Zep @conaero , can you let us know the account details.
Cheers Ian.

[Gazcw]

I imagine they are waiting for the hotel confirmations before shouting for cash.

 

[Zep]

We are all good. I'll send an email this evening with the bank details. It is the usual account.

Look forward to it, the trip, not the payment that is....as a trip newbie I don't have the details!
