That's it, I was going to suggest the Hanging Gardens of Babylon guided tour but you're not getting any more help from me.

Was thinking first week of september to allow arival in Prague for Dosky Checked snd all these roads where open this year, in the event of impassable conditions they all have modern alternatives (tunnels etc).

i.e. Millau first night (long drive)
2nd night short drive to south of france and a really nice posh hotel for a good evening meal night out etc

Allowed a couple of hours at Millau bridge imo long enough to look round the visitor centre, photo stops etc. Whilst it would be nice to stop more nights and spread the driving out the cost would seriously escalate especially when talking about hotels able to accomodate us all in the south of France. As it stands after a quick look would imagine the cost to be in the region of £400 pp, + car (£650 (petrol) (£450 (deisal) (inc. road tolls) + meals spend etc
