France has an
excellent road network, from the Autoroutes, where you pay, to the
Route National, and Departmental, which are free.
Please ensure that you adhere to the speed limits,
especially in any habitated area, signed by a red bordered
name sign, where unless advised otherwise, the implied
speed is 50 kilometres per hour (50/1.6 = 31.25 Miles
per hour).
Road works are also subject to a implicit speed limit of 50
kilometres per hour
France is a large country, so do not be tempted to do it
all in one go, stop, take a break, we will wait up for you.
