We spent a day driving north from the coast through Provence, stopping in St. Remy for lunch. It was a small touristy town that reminded us too much of Leavenworth. Beautiful place with great shops and old buildings, but everything was made in China. So we bought locally-made baguettes, cheese and wine, soaked up some sun-rays in a pretty little square, and then headed on our way. We continued driving north into the French Alps where we paid a pretty penny to cross back over to Italy under Mont Blanc – the 5^th longest tunnel in the world (13.5 km long). We were glad for the toll roads that allowed us to drive 110 miles an hour so we could get back to Milan in a jiffy. Shopping in Milan for leather shoes, bags, and ties will be more fun.
