How I drove from Geneva to Nice : 6 Hours of France POV Drive

Geneva to Nice by road — 635 kilometres, six hours, driven end to end with no music and no narration. Leaving at 4:15 in the morning in the dark, through the first tunnels, into sunrise, down through Provence on the Autoroute du Soleil, and out onto the French Riviera. ⏩ Want to skip the dark? Sunrise is at 1:42:18. The longest drive on Endless Roads so far, and the first to start at night. The first ninety minutes are headlights, lit signs and orange tunnels; then the sky opens and the whole day happens on the windscreen: ten degrees at the start, twenty-eight by the end. 🔤 TURN CAPTIONS ON for the running commentary: the history of the places on the signs, a breakfast stop, a coffee hunt that goes wrong twice before it goes right, a windscreen that will not stay clean, and a queue-jumper at the toll. Leave them off if you would rather just drive. Recorded 12 September 2026. Shot in 4K at 60fps.

Every place named here and on screen was read off a road sign in the footage. The film stops in Nice traffic, short of the airport. Tolls: French motorways charge almost the whole way. Paid by card and cash at several booths, somewhere around €50 in total. An estimate, not a receipt. ☕ QUESTION FOR YOU Which drink actually gets you through a long drive?
