South of France and back, 2300 miles

Just took the car on holiday with me. Had a really good drive down to the south of France and back.

Give the French their due they make relay good motorways! Not a bump or noisy road surface all the way down. Mind you you pay a premium for it. Over the course of the holiday I reckon I spend around 200 euros = £135 on the motorway tolls.

 

They've also got some really good driving road. Took a trip to the Millau bridge (the tallest longest bridge in Europe) featured on Top Gear and decided to get off the motorway for a while. Girlfriend said that the views were pretty impressive and I throught the 350z was handling perfectly.

When we were their we also met the Ferrari equivalent of the gumball rally. 30 or so Ferrari's' driving along the French back roads. Tried to take some pictures but missed most of them trying to get my dads camera to work and the windscreen of my parents hire car was pretty dirty so sorry for the quality of the pics.

nice pics George :thumbs:

 

I did the Millau trip last year (not in the Zed unfortunately :dry: ) Agree with you about the french motorways :) really good road surface and for the main part were pretty traffic free... I can feel a Euro trip coming up next year :teeth:

Nice piccies George. Looks like had a good one.

 

Love the thing that the French president said when he opened the Millau Bridge, "It's a triumph of french engineering and design"

 

It was done by a brit. Norman Foster.
