Three things stand between here and a finished trip.

The car isn't booked

Montpellier Saint-Roch to Paris CDG, 17–30 September, automatic, one way. A thin route in September, and inventory only tightens. Declare Switzerland on the agreement, and refuse anything with roof rails — the Annecy garage caps at 1.80 m.

Everything from Annecy onward depends on it

Istanbul stopover hotel

Tap to open the email — already written, with the ticket number in it. Two business-class nights, return leg only. Ask which hotel before accepting.

Passports in transit
