| ROADS IN FRANCE |
The roads
in France are some of the best in Europe. The
French motorway
system is known as the auto routes and are marked
A routes. The
national or Route Nationals are marked as RN route and again
there has
been plenty of development
on these roads.The
route nationals can become very congested
especially where they offer a more direct route as they will
become the
favorite of truck drivers and heavy lorrys. Remember
the A routes have
a peage and a toll has to be paid where as
the route nationals offer
free driving.The
Auto routes are well equipped
with service stations
and the parking areas are
ideal for on route picnics. |

During
the summer
the service stations offer some useful entertainment and amenities for
the Children and adults alike.
The summer season will bring on huge traffic jams
for the routes that lead to the coastlines and the winter
will see similar jams leading to the popular ski
resorts. Sunday is an
excellent day in which to take to the roads in France as the trucks and
large vehicles are excluded by law unless they are transporting urgent
goods or perishables. |

| TAKE A BREAK NOT A WAKE |
Driving
long distance can be very trying remember to take a break during the
day and do not drive more than eight
hours in one day. Think about it
you are risking not only your life but that of your passengers
and
other road users. Professional truck drivers stop every two hours for
a coffee or snack and never drive more than eight hours a day. Try to
make your journey a part of your holiday and take over night stops to
see more of France |

CAR
AND VAN HIRE SOUTH WEST FRANCE |
If you are booking or reserving a hire car in France you will need a
credit card as no other form of deposit can be made. Check the price
before your card is charged and always ask for a receipt when you
return the vehicle, I have heard of people that have paid over 1000
euros for one week hire only finding out the cost once they received
their card bill the reason given for the extra charges was because they
did not pre-book their hire car.
