Why not the 12th ??....what happens on the 12th. We're coming over 30th August....Calais to Le Bugue to see the wife's cousin

Thanks for all the replies on this suject. Next question......We'll be driving through France on a Sunday, so I was wondering about the number of service stations that would be open for fuel on a Sunday. I know years ago almost all used to be shut on a Sunday but what about nowadays?....the last think I want is to run out of fuel when we're half way across TIA

[quote user="Clair"]Don't forget to carry your compulsory triangle and reflective vest in the car (not in the boot). These might help: http://www.securiteroutiere.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/Depliant_welcome_2007-08_cle5843be.pdf http://www.securiteroutiere.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/depliant-signalisation_cle7f65b3.pdf http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/touring_tips/france-monaco.pdf [/quote] Many thanks too all the replies, some usefull stuff and links there. A little confused about the warning triangle though. I know the hi-viz vest is to be kept in the car but I thought the warning triangle would be ok in tthe boot. Ah well, you learn something new every day. With regards to roundabouts, I thought priority was given to traffic coming from the left?? Cheers & beers

Hi guys "n" gals, New to the forum so please forgive me if this question has been asked before... We're (me and the wife)  driving to France in September and this will be the first time that we are taking our own car across there (have hired before) Question.... I'll be taking original copies of all the vehicle documents but was wondering how many photo-copies should I take (just for security) Also any tips on driving a RH drive vehicle in France? TIA Dave
