Upgrade your AA to European Cover. I did this in 2004 (it was £100) and it was the best money ever spent, when my car got a bad fill of fuel which filled up the filter with gunk and because I was a young single Mum driving about France with little lingo I didn't know what to do about it. The car eventually ground to a halt on the very day we were leaving as we were on the way to the ferry terminal. The AA picked up the car, put it on the ferry, collected it the other side and brought me home. It would have cost thousands as I live in Northern Ireland!

Crushed chillies to give your wonderful afresco dining a kick. They don't do spice in France, or a least I couldn't find them.
Enjoy, it's brilliant.

What you need most of all for your fist trip is good weather, You do not say when or where you are going, but head for the sun.

shop locally, & join in, & learn what France has to offer
