Useful information for
driving in France
In Europe drivers drive on the right hand side
of the road. Roads are generally less crowded than in the UK and
in excellent condition and you’ll find good quality service
stations, making the drive from Calais to the alps a pleasurable
experience. viaMichelin route planner here
The priority to the right rule
The 'priority to the right' principle exists inside most towns
in Europe. In the absence of road markings, priority must be given
to the car coming from the right-hand side. Yellow lozenge signposts
show that main road traffic has priority over traffic joining
from a side-road on the right.
Documentation abroad
All passengers will need a valid passport. You will need your
full driving licence documentation. The original Vehicle Registration
Document (V5), if the vehicle you are driving is borrowed, hired
or leased, it is vital that you carry a Vehicle on Hire Certificate
(VE103).

We recommend you and your passengers have sufficient
insurance to cover you in case anything happens whilst away. Eurostar
