guys sorry to disagree, but driving on french motorways is as boring as it can get. excellent, straight, wide, smooth, roads, many of them with not much traffic. You put the cruise control on aprox. 137-138km/h and can go to sleep. Much better to take time and explore their 'A' roads. Much less risk of radar and can be very fun to drive on.

Sounds like a nice drive, when we going  

You may laugh...... i have allways wanted to drive to Spain

Much nicer drive when your not on a card Used to do it once a month to a specialist beef farm right down south. Halling 21 ton of hanging beef from the deep south of spain back to Brum isn't fun  :-/ Nearly always took my 24 hours there though

Less tolls too

It was always the stretch from Dortmund to Hanover that had me noddin'! What a tedious road :-?

Tolls cost money but at least they stop you from falling asleep.
Just kidding - obviously it is another advantage of using their still excellent and often very empty 'A' roads.

Just a quick budget note here, our drive from Durham to Pals - Northern Spain, just down the coast from Estartit - cost £600 last year. Tolls, fuel, one overnight stop each way, insurance and breakdown cover ( and we needed it ). Priced the flights, car hire earlier this year - before being made redundant - and they came to £136 flights, ( thats for me and her, £68 each return, Newcastle / Girona ) £130 Focus for 9 days, quite a difference. If we were able to afford to go at all this year I would still prefer to drive, fantastic roads, and Paris is not the nightmare everyone says it is. Enjoy.
