Thanks Val, I think what's worrying more it's not really the driving just getting used to French ,   Ha ha I  spose once you have done it.

I've done the Republic of Ireland and that wasn't a problem. So with a bit of luck hopefully all goes well, but that's part of the fun.

Just to go back to the question about the use of automatic-only motorway toll points (i.e. where there is no human being in a booth as an alternative), I have found that a UK credit card works fine in these. It's a very speedy process; the machine doesn't even ask you for a PIN.  (If at first it doesn't work, try putting the card in the other way up, or other way round, or something, until it does.)

I also find that my UK credit card works in the 24/24h supermarket petrol stations now.   But that was good advice, above, not to run low on a Sunday in the wilds of the countryside.  Incidentally, if you are desperate, don't forget the "petrol station" POIs on your sat-nav.  That has saved me once or twice!
