| Be careful speeding. Most tunnels in France now have speed cameras at both ends. Also Charles De Gaulle Airport area has constant speed traps in the direction of Calais. Instant heavy Fines. |
| Safety - by Roger from Harrow |
| France has strict drink driving laws, only allowing 0.25 milligrams of alcohol per litre of blood - stricter than the UK where the limit is 0.4. Gee Whiz! - how I wish I knew this because I got nailed and I am actually very responsible when it comes to drinking and driving. |
| Other - by Pedro from Brazil |
| I advise you to stay out of the fast lane - french drivers will drive right up your rear if you use this lane for anything but overtaking. |
| Safety - by Dave from England |
| Don't drink ANY alcohol when driving ! That is a VERY RESPONSIBLE approach. |

| France Overview |
Champagne, frogs-legs, romance and art , France is famed for its proud cultural tradition. This large European country really does offer something for everyone with its wildly contrasting areas.
From the cosmopolitan city of Paris through to the celebrity favoured Riviera and the vineyards of Bordeaux, it is France’s differences that make it such a special place to visit. A modern nation and frontrunner of the EU, France has developed without losing its heritage and this makes it one of the most popular destinations in Europe. |
