Here’s another one…has this changed.? French side entrance to the tunnel…1970-ish
Hi fergie here’s a few from the french side looking back at the entrance but at night! seems like not much has changed to the tunnel or entrance although parking is a bit different.regards Andrew 3210
Thanks Andrew…lovely moody pic’s !!! I know there is now an autoroute almost to the tunnel, but the old route was more fun I guess, and then all the villages and towns that you now by-pass, we went through…Still, one day, I might just re-live a trip down there…on old roads off course
Hi fergie i laid of Mappo for a while but he aint postin anymore i was even nice to him cos he had a bad leg but i reckon hes bust all his fingers and cant use the keyboard. I started on FT but he does come back at you i think old tone has crashed and burned.

While we’re on the subject of “Blanc” pictures, here some more, all by-passed now I guess…all taken in the early '70’s
Just about to the enter the Blanc from the French side…
Climbing up the Blanc towards the tunnel, French side
There were 2 petrol stations opposite each other on the road before you got to Bonneville, snapped this Yugo motor, which was unusual at the time, ( Henchell 6x4 ) just leaving and heading toward the pipe
I THINK this is Cluse, but not sure, there was a railway station that we parked in, and the restaurant opposite…
Hey Fergie do you remember st jean du maurienne sharp left hand bend in the middle of the village with a restaurent right on the corner and a big carpark to stop in with the big round horse trough with little fountain . The locals used to get peeed of if you cleaned your teeth there in the morning ans had a wash but was always clean and fresh another Mary Hopkin moment eh.

i bet they were even less impressed, when you put your feet in their jonny.
FT you are definitely trying to black my good name i wont be stirred by the way i got a proper bloke to change my starter motor on the disco so she’s back on the road sorry to here you got a bad shoulder you and mappo could convaless together less being the opperative word ! !
