Later this year, my new wife and I will be driving to Amalfi as part of our honeymoon, taking in northern France, Switzerland, Italy (obviously) and returning either through France or via Austria and Germany.
We've decided to do it this way rather than flying as we want to see some of the scenery these countries have to offer, as opposed to just passing over them at 35,000 feet!
We're both up for seeing some of the classic film locations too, such as the mafia stand-off scene from The Italian Job near Aosta and we also want to take in any Bond-related locations too, so suggestions please!

The one in Switzerland from Goldfinger comes to mind. Also, good call on the locale from The Italian Job!

We've decided that we'll be listening to a lot of Matt Monro on this trip
The James Bond location Wiki lists 'Geneva' as being the only Swiss location in Goldfinger. I'll have to investigate further. Might turn out to be somewhere in Wales or Scotland!
I'm pretty certain that first shot of Bond driving the Aston into Switzerland was really set in Switzerland too. A friend of mine visited the place to.. It was called the - ...- pass.. (I'm sure some other members here can easily point that one out)
