hi,
Sorry i know this question will have being asked before but i need to ask you lovely people on here, so i can get in clear in my head [:errr: for next years trip]. We have just come back from spain in july 2012 and had a lovely trip back. Going down was another thing. Right here where it starts.
Got in Calais at 11.00pm and our plan was to drive as far down as we could, doing toilet breaks and petrol stops. (2 of us driving).So we drove down using non toll roads, as far as we could until we had a quarter of a tank of petrol and then pulled onto a 24 hour petrol station. Which wasnt manned. So we looked on the card payments that you could use and our card, visa natwest, first direct, you couldnt use, only card apart from french cards was american express, which we dont have  . I thought next step, i will ask somone, French, if they could use their card and we would pay them in euros, that didnt work, either couldnt understand what i was saying, broken french come english accent  . So we had to stay on this parking place overnight until 7am when the pumps was manned and lost all that time, when we could have being driving.
So are all petrol stations like that, are the auto route ones open 24 that take english cards. We are going to the same place again next year and we are trying to work the times out so we dont hit paris during the day. We will be using toll roads this time and doing a overnight stop going down and coming back.
Thank you
Bettyboop
