hi mate I drove through France last month and i must say it is great! I intend to do a lot more road trips soon. in 2009 i drove to Mongolia and drove through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Czech rep, Poland, ukraine, russia, Kazakhstan, Back up to russia and Mongolia and did 10,000 miles in 18 days of driving, that includes many 6 hour border waits... the road trip was the best thing i have ever done! Hoping to go again in the next year or so.
