In his second major international success, “Arc de Triomphe,” author Erich Maria Remarque drew on his own experiences in exile and his momentous encounter with Marlene Dietrich.

From Mont Blanc to french Riviera – the french Alps
On the road along the Route des Grandes Alpes
On the road between Mont Blanc and the Cote d’Azur. In their Renault 4, the sisters Marlene and Matilda drive along a spectacular route.
Along the “Route des Grandes Alpes,” the French high alpine road, the two explore a landscape full of contrasts. A sparsely populated mountain world in which there is much to discover. Their journey is full of experiences and not always entirely smooth, along a road that leads over a dozen passes and ends at the Mediterranean Sea.
