The A8 'Provencale'.
The A8 is the motorway which runs from the Italian Riviera to Barcelona through Monaco, the Cote d’Azur and Provence.
In the Summer of 1997 it was along this motorway that I drove for the first time on the ‘wrong’ side of the road. I remember the first time, driving West that I saw a sign saying 'Barcelone', Barcelona in French. It all seemed impossiobly glamourous and romantic! It was is and will always be my favourite motorway.
And as the sun rose over the Promenade Anglais in Nice, I turned my car up a slip road and onto the A8 and headed for home.
