This was an unforgettable journey by that we took by car from Luxembourg through France - via Champagne, the Loire valley, Cognac, Bordeaux - and then onwards over the Pyrenees into Spain.The towns and cities slipped by - including Santiago del Compostella, Vigo, and Madrid. Heading south through southern Spain, the road led into Portugal and  the village of Sagres on the most westerly, southerly tip of Europe.

We drove back up through Spain and up the Rhone valley, pausing in Beaune before heading back home to Luxembourg.
