"hello ladies and gentlemen and now is the time when I figured I'd share ten tips when visiting France tip number one if you're driving through rural France be sure to fill up your tank at the nearest available opportunity the reason why I'm bringing it up is because the
petrol stations are rather sparse at least in the north of France in the rural areas so when you see an tip number two service stations the service stations that we've seen have concretes tables and chairs, people brought their own food with them sometimes in the middle of rural areas you can see unmanned shops like this one we decided to pop in and get some peaches, some fruits on the way but we couldn't we help but notice this, let's open it up it's over here what you can see is different products tip number three please note that there are many toll roads in France which means a very short trip from one city to another could cost you a toll so just bear that in mind if you're driving this is why traveling from Trouville to Le Havre was a little bit more expensive than anticipated because of the road tolls, again we didn't mind because we really wanted to see the city of La Havre,
please note that a lot of motorways are paid for in France so consider the distance you are driving it could cost you a little bit more than you think. Tip number four learn some basic French when you're going to France you would be surprised that especially in rural areas not everyone speaks English and also if you put your effort in trying to communicate in French people do open up a lot better, they can sense and they can feel that you're really going for, it really trying to communicate their language so many people Once you chose to learn the language keep it simple for yourself learn the basics I would suggest starting from directions: left right and of course counting but if your grammar is broken up and it's not sticking well but at least you know some basic words that will go a long long way!
Tip number five, in smaller towns shops tend to stay open in the earlier part of today and obviously they close early too point number six: plan your routes around the attractions that you actually like, personally my wife and I love ancient architecture historical cities, medieval towns and back streets of beautiful historical villages for others it could be shopping, it could be restaurants, it could be museums it could be an array of other things that I may not even think of so obviously plan your route around the themes that you really like and enjoy once you have that planned you can divert you can ad-lib and you can really let yourself go but at least you have a plan which you can fall back on tip number seven: depending on where you are from in the world but it does get very very hot in the summer in
France and it gets even hotter the further south you go, sometimes this heat can really get to you if you know you're not very good with the heat be sure to plan for it tip number eight eat and shop for food where locals go each county will have its own food that they're famous for: go for that option, go for the food that's really famous in that particular region and also see where the locals go and do a little bit of exploring: it's fun it's amazing, it opens up a real world of France Tip number nine: when you come to France
don't overstretch yourself with travel try to stay and explore the local area to the best of your abilities You'd be surprised how much can you learn about a city, you would certainly enjoy yourself more and have better time. Tip number ten: the final tip is for all of those of
you who love coffee if you ask for coffee in France by default you'll be given a shot of black coffee in a cup which is just marginally larger than espresso enjoy the French coffee and
enjoy it as it comes! That's it from me I hope you enjoyed these tips, stay safe and let's plan for our next trip don't forget to subscribe as your support means a world to me! Until next Thursday 7 o'clock in the evening British Standard Time, Bye Bye!"

Another great video, Mike. Always used to get caught out trying to buy lunch at lunchtime when driving in the countryside and discovering all the small shops are closed for a siesta. 😂
