  • Versailles: While in Versailles, make a trip to the palace where you can see opulent furniture and artwork. There are also beautiful gardens and a market where you can shop for delicious French delicacies like frog legs.

Driving Tips for France

When driving in France, you should know that speed limits are 50 km/h in cities, and between 80-130 km/h on rural roads, highways and freeways. Driving is on the right side of the road, and right of way at unmarked intersections is given to vehicles to your right. All occupants of a vehicle must wear a seat belt. When entering many cities in France, you will need a Crit’Air, or clean air sticker, which you can order online. The price depends on the emissions of your car.

Winter in France

Skiing is a popular activity in the winter months in France. You can also see the mountains and glaciers around Mont Blanc or the French Alps which are amazing to see when the snow falls. In the evening, relax in a thermal bath at a spa in one of France's spa towns. During the Christmas holidays, there are many festivals to enjoy and lots to see and do such as the Lights Festival in Paris or the world-famous Christmas Markets in Colmar, Strasbourg and Montbeliard.

We rented a car for two days to go visit the Chartres area. The people at Sixt were really helpful, kind, and they even upgraded our car. Great service, and easy pick up and drop off.

5.0
Very satisfied with the service and with the car! Golden tip for returning the car during peak hours: a lot of people stop/park their cars close to the entrance of the Méditerranée Parking Garage, in a “queue” formation. Depending on the number of cars, it really looks like there’s a huge queue to enter the Parking Garage. Don’t get fooled by that! Just go around them, because the parking entrance is always clear. We’ve seen a queue that went as long as reaching the previous intersection and people were arguing there because it really messes up the traffic.

*Our Customer Excitement Score is based on a survey sent to all customers who booked in France. The score is an average of all customer responses.
