ROAD TRIP Part 1: Aosta and Mont Blanc Tunnel

Here we go on the road trip to Paris!

Driving through the Valley of Aosta are several castels on the hillsides. It is magical to see them in the distance and compare their construction and locations.


We took a stop in the city of Aosta where there are some amazing Roman ruins.
Here is the start of the ruins...

Part of a theater
The mountainous backdrop makes a dramatic setting for the ruins.

In the lower right there is a double arched doorway made out of large stones.
And this is some city goverment building.


Back on thr road,
and we are close to the entrance of the Monte Bianco tunnel
 ( Monte Bianco when your in Italy, and Mont Blanc when your in France)

Here is the start of the 11.6 km tunnel! You cant hold your breath in this one...

We made in through, this is the French side of the Mon Blanc tunnel.
