Is it hard to drive in southern France?


Is it hard to drive in southern France? Thanks to GPS, driving in France, and in particular navigating through the south of France, is quite easy. However, it's not a bad idea to have some “road trip French” in your back pocket in case you need to stop for directions in a small town where English is less commonly spoken.


Can I drive in France as a tourist?

As long as you are a tourist and have a valid driver's license written in the Roman alphabet from your country, you don't need to carry an international driving permit to drive in France. The minimum age to drive in France is 18 years old.


Is South of France expensive?

It's like many places...it can be expensive, but you can also do it economically. Just prioritize. I still know we spend less on a week ANYWHERE in Europe than half of my friends spend on a week at the beach.
