hi
just a couple of questions really, we are looking at the South of Framce again this year, and having tried the coach (24hrs) have in the past couple of years let the train take the strain.
1st couple of times were good, ashford (kent) to lille, change platform and to Perpignan, then good old eurostar changed their services and we had to go to Paris and change stations, the longer we stay the more luggage and in fact the shorter gaps between transfers.
this year we wanted to go for 3 weeks and looking at advice for driving, we have driven into dunkirk for beer runs but never a 700 mile journey.
Therefore the questions are, best route, as novices are we better to stick to the payage which are supposidly quieter or the free roads.
are we better to leave in the evening from UK, drive till dark overnight then on the next day or ealry shuttle and drive in a day with regular breaks.
Do we require additional breakdown cover or will Renault Assist suffice
emergency kit, we have in watching on ebay 2 vests, bulb kit, gb sticker, beam diflectors. anything else required.
we thought of having a 4 wheel allighment before we go.
many thanks in advance
