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. 

Summer in France

Take a trip in your rental car to Fontainebleau Forest that’s just a short drive from Paris. In the summer months, you can enjoy outdoor fun here like hiking, climbing or cycling. You might also enjoy relaxing on the beautiful beaches of the French Riviera. Take a boat ride and at night, try your luck at the casino in Monte Carlo.
