Good roads in S. France and Spain... taking Roadster

[adammitch69]

Afternoon All,

 

With the collapse of XL all flights have gone up 300% so decided to take my Roadster (owned it for 2 weeks) on a little trip.

 

Thinking of Dover-Calias then quickest route to Nice... few days rounds there then make way to Valencia on the Spanish coast. Any suggestions/tips/ideas will be greatfully appreciated.

 

Also never driven abroad (well smart car in Greece) so any foreign police/speed trap advice welcome ;-)

 

Cheers

Adam

Cool! thats roughly what I want to do next year in my roadster!

 

Driven in France before- absolute doddle - fab roads but takes you hours to get anywhere even on the toll roads (which are excellent btw) just because its such a large country! Food and wine obvisouly excellent even in the smallest backwater potting shed service station! (Lorry stops are cheap and very good btw)

 

Most petrol stations are now credit/debit card automated so dont worry if you cant speak da lingo! Spain on the other hand I dont know - but I do know they have the highest death rate due to muppet drivers so be ware!!

 

I used Speed ferries - Dover - Bologne - cheap and easy to get across

 

Think there are some posts on here about driving abroad - do a quick search,

 

Let us know how you get on and plenty of pictures please
