France Highlights Road Trip Summary

We believe that our France Highlights Road Trip has become a perfect inspiration for your future holidays.
The plan we’ve prepared can be used as a foundation that you can recreate in its entirety or only partially and that can be enriched with interesting attractions.
If car travel is a travel mode that you prefer, there are a number of vital road rules to follow and a bunch of elements to remember to turn your adventure into pure pleasure. These tips will surely become useful for drivers who are considering vehicle rental or renting a camper.
In France, there are a number of traffic rules to be kept in mind while on a road trip. To be on the safe side, try avoiding alcoholic beverages at all. Travellers ought to remember that the legal alcohol limit is low and equals only 0.5‰. Never exceed the allowed speed limit when driving around the the city streets, which is 50km/h. The maximum allowed speed in non-build-up areas is 90km/h. Driving faster than 130km/h on highways is penalised. In order to stay safe, we recommend equipping your car with a first aid kit and fire extinguisher and driving with your headlights on at daytime.
How about the costs of the trip? Of course, depending on the budget option that you’re interested in, the amount of money that you have to spend on your holiday expenses will vary. Below, you will find the budget possibilities.
We estimate that the cheapest offer when it comes to gasoline to cover the planned 10 stages across France can cost approximately 238 EUR. Economy accommodation options may cost holidaymakers around 792 EUR. Travellers who want to benefit from this option will spend roughly 864 EUR on food and restaurants. If your aim is also the cheapest car hire option, you will pay about 450 EUR. Thus, the estimated travel expenses amount to around 1,894 EUR without vehicle hire and 2,344 EUR with vehicle hire.
