Thanks for this information I watching from Sweden 🇸🇪

Important - By law, the yellow reflective jackets must be in the body of the car NOT in the boot.

Very helpful! Thank you for the video

Some cars (my Skoda Enyaq being one) has a configurable speedo which is user-changeable from mph<>kph. Very useful.

Driving in France is an absolute pleasure, been doing it for 30 plus years. The French understand lane discipline unlike the half wits on UK motorways. Don't use a satnav, use a Michelin map and see the real France !!

Love the countdown on temporary road works why can that not be done here in the UK ?
-
very well summarised, thanks for sharing your experience with us.

Practically about roundabout : keep right lane with left signal as long as you're rounding.... and right signal when you exit.

Really helpful video, under rated in my opinion

If you come to France with a British vehicle, just remember to drive on the side where your driving-wheel is = on the right-hand side.

Great video very interesting going over to France in July you say shops are closed on Sundays is that the same as petrol stations as well👍

Due to Brexit 👍 Speeding tickets DO NOT FOLLOW YOU to the U.K.! The French authorities do NOT have an agreement with the U.K. to get your details. However, this gentleman is correct about French Police and speed limits.

For bread, all bakeries in France are open on Sundays ... What a silly idea to want to buy bread in a supermarket when in France? ;o)

I fiited those headlight converters...and someone stole them on boat...

Will the car rental company supply the vests and warning sign?

1:47 Are you aware of the anglo tendency to mythmongering? Probably not - you are making yourself culpable of this habit. The simple fact is that bringing one's car to another country (not only inside Europe, but in fact all over the world) is based on the rules of a UN convention, the one covering road traffic, made 1968 in Vienna - look it up. According to its rules, your car must comply with the rules of your country, not the one you visit. As this convention is based on reciprocity, the same is true in the opposite direction. (We're talking here about temp import, not a permanent one.) It is possible that a french cop might not be aware of these details, but if he tries to fine you, confront him with these facts, and he will must probably back off. If not him, then the office that sent him out, once written to them

Speaking of roundabouts. The French don't even know how to use them.
