Anyone driven to/or in Paris?

[E.L.M.O]

I have done the run a few times now. Gone through and round paris sometime on the way to skiing.

The last time i did the run I went into paris for a weekend and then back to the UK and I was in a Diesel company mondeo. I filled up in Dover, and got to Paris, back to Dover and all the way to Swindon on a tank!

I doubt the 8 would let me do that!

The A roads are actually motorways in France. I did a mixture of motorway and non motorway driving to keep the costs down on the tolls and see a bit of the towns.

Im not sure you will get there for 2am keeping within the speed limits. Perhaps a little after. Try and get there nice and early for the ferry, remember normally first on is first off!

A lot of people hate driving in Paris. But I grew up and learnt to drive in East London and I have driven from Central London to Mongolia before and nothing compares to driving in the Ukraine! They are the worst drivers I have ever met! Just remember, that sometime when on a roundabout, you have to give way to vehicles coming onto the roundabout! That takes some getting used to! If you drive in Paris, driving round the arc de triumph is an experience! its pure free for all, as are many of the roundabouts! Dont expect a car to stop for you at a zebra cross, there just a place for you to cross, and dont have any give way to pedestrian relevance that I can figure out!

You must try garlic snails! But be careful not to burn yourself!

Le Cab is an ok club. Stay away from Le Queen unless your into that sort of thing if you know what I mean! I have heard about a place called Kong. Its set up in a sky scrapper. I like Le Duplex, loads of rooms to suit all tastes and the girls in there are well......... errrrm easy is the only way to put it i think!

Watch you speed. If they catch you they will either take your passport until you pay the fine or march you straight to a cash point.

Have fun!
