The Puy de Dome is a special place to me - first visited when you just drove to the top or parked in a field at the bottom and walked up, no visitors centre or proper paths round, just a little hut at the top selling souvenirs, and no toilets!!! The views are still absolutely stunning though, you just have to work harder to enjoy them away from the hordes. Good fun watching the paragliders too.

Not sure how busy this place is now as I visited over a decade ago out of season. But would love to go back.

A few highlights:
The oyster beds at Bouzigues. Preferably viewed from a cafe with a plate of the produce to sample.
Lake Chambon, and the road over to Mont Dore
The abbey at Fontévraud.

canoeing the ardeche down to the arc, seeing the vultures in the tarn, as mentioned the beatiful cathedrals in northern france including pierrefonds castle, the view across lake annecy to the mountains above, lunch al fresco in the square at arras, sipping a coffee in the square at serignan and walking the streets of quaint towns in brittany eg vannes auray concarneau pontivy in brittany, france has so much to offer, on the other hand we love rome, and germany has some lovely tons and castles to visit

Since 2013 we have spent several month each year in Europe. The first year we were away five months and for me undoubtedly the unforgettable highlight was Switzerland and the train journey to the Top of Europe from Interlaken. The engineering in creating the route, then the spectacle of the panoramic view of the snow covered mountains was breathtaking. A couple of days later we took the cable car journey up the Schilthorn which was also memorable and spectacular.

In France, we have returned to Provence and always include a trip to Bormes Les Mimosas.

In Italy, we spent a week at Il Collaccio, Umbria, which as well as camping pitches has self-catering accommodation, hotel and excellent restaurant (the name translates as The Happy Pig!). We were recommended to visit by a Dutch camper we met in France, with advice to visit Piano Grande. This is a flat plain with mountains on several sides from which the melt waters irrigate the soil which triggers a succession of flowers and plants to grow and flower. The season was behind the year we went but you could just about pick out the swathes of tiny yellow blooms which later produce lentils for which the area is famous. Not sure how 'open to tourists' the area is at the moment as it was hit by the earthquake a couple of years ago.

Now you mention it, make sure your shoes are not expensive white ones!

Here is another:

Aiguille du Midi

Just make sure you give yourself enough time at the top to get over the altitude sickness or look round quick!
