Alpine tracks, verdant valleys, old roads through castles and fields and gloriously ramshackle rustic villages: yes, it’s no surprise that Europe has long been regarded as a fantastic opportunity for a road trip, since it offers so many different scenes and sunsets for drivers of all ages.

A Renault Megane or Peugeot might be perfect. Be careful with...
