    Navigating French roads can be relatively straightforward, especially on motorways (autoroutes). However, driving in cities can be challenging due to narrow streets and limited parking. A GPS is highly recommended, especially outside of major cities. Remember that speed limits are strictly enforced, and tolls are common on autoroutes.
  • What are the best hostels for families and kids in France?

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in France?

    Respectful behaviour in France includes greeting people with a 'bonjour' and 'au revoir', saying 's'il vous plaît' (please) and 'merci' (thank you). It's considered polite to avoid loud conversations in public spaces and to be mindful of personal space. Learning a few basic French phrases will be greatly appreciated by locals. Also, be aware that many shops and businesses close for a few hours in the afternoon.
