Paul16 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I am coming back from England around the 30th July /1st August and do not want to be caught in the French holiday traffic. Is it that weekend if so I will come back on the Monday/Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's most weekends from now on Paul. French TV news said this weekend is a "red" weekend on many motorways.Travel during the week and watch out for hundreds of camper vans travelling south!best wishes.....helen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue56 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 LAST EDITED ON 14-Jul-04 AT 05:02 PM (BST)On AI site, someone posted similar quesion and general response seemed to be that 14th & 15th August were the worst, quieter afterwards. Another also mentioned that St Malo has a rock festival weekend, 13th, 14th & 15th August so may take longer in around the town. My French friend also said don't travel on 7th or 8th either. Needless to say, we're travelling mid-week now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judyc Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I would have thought that weekend would be a nightmare. We had guests come down the equivalent weekend last year and they couldn't believe they were stuck in Paris for hours in a traffic jam at 4am! Definitely come down mid-week if you can.Judy47 Lot-et-Garonne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardbk Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 holidays have already started (30th June) and the worst days on the roads are the weekend of 2nd/July and thereafter every 2nd weekend until 1 st Sept. The weekend you mention is one of the worst and the ones in between are only slightly better.www.bisonfute.fr for more detailsregsRichard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
