I_am_Ironfan - 10/19/2023 07:24 Looks like we will be renting a car for a few days of motoring to our desired destinations. The Googling I've done says France is a fairly easy country for Americans to drive. Anyone here have any experience on the French motorways? All feedback appreciated.
French roadways are great. French drivers, well I will allow you to reach your own conclusions. Understand round a bouts before you get there and their rules. Have a good driving maps app going like Google maps. Embrace the adventure. Beware modern roadways may require one car to pull off to allow another car to proceed (even on roads you think are main thoroughfares). I have seen a car have to back up on a 2 lane road so a bus can get by and this is just normal to both drivers. Stay sober, you will need all your mental power driving. Few straight roads. Lots of small SUVs. Parking may be challenging often. Learn a little French -yes no please thank you, where is the bathroom. je ne sais pas. Most French know English but dislike speaking it so don't speak badly near them as they will understand. And if they switch to English mid conversation, you will be confused by English for a minute.



Using Google maps on my iPad several years ago, we had to get a different SIM card to have internet connectivity in Europe. Our nephew handled all the sourcing and procuring of this SIM card, so I don't have details, just remember that was the deal at that point. YMMV
