Final thoughts on travelling in France

Here are a few notes for travelling in France


Transportation:
1)Rent a car -- it will get you to places that are not served by trains
2)Buy or rent a GPS -- dealing with the french driving is stressful enough without worrying about the navigation
3)Rent through autoeurope
4)If returning to a different location, make sure they give you detailed instructions
5)Rent a diesel and you'll save a lot of money

Places to go:

Plus beaux villages de france, and just wander around

Places to stay:
Try Karen Brown for the generally pricier places and
Chambres d'hotes on the gites de france site for inexpensive accomodation

Times to go:
Fall, Winter, Spring, period.
