    French campsite toilets with no seat? How do you poo!

We have friends in the South of France, so could drop down there, then move on to Spain and Portugal...

    French Speeding Fine

    We’ve recently returned from our 3 week French trip, to be greeted with a speeding fine already waiting for us! Luckily it’s only €45 (as long as it is paid within a set period). Has anyone else been unfortunate enough to get one, and more importantly does it have to be paid? I wondered if it...
