Hi Larry,
You’ve put together a great post here. Driving to France for a ski holiday or a short break can be a fantastic way to save money, especially given the range of offers available for ferry/Euro tunnel crossings. It’s important to brush-up on driving etiquette aboard before traveling, and to take French toll road charges in to consideration when setting off on long journeys.
Best wishes, Alex.
