wrt driving in France.
We drove Munich to / from near Auxerre. 840KM ew. Went 27th and back tonight (so catching up on YBIG) Driving time e/w was 7 1/2 hrs = travel time 9hrs, Helped by the incredibly unwinterlike weather Paid less than 30€ e/w on tolls. French motorways have always been good in my experience. Worth paying the money as less traffic. 130kph limit. Best to get petrol off motorway (20c a litre difference) If you are not used to long spells driving then you will have more stops. More importantly, beer selections in Auchan / Carrefour was good.. though small bottles.. plenty of Belgians beers.. none in a fridge. |

Ya staying a night is an option but the cost of another night's accommodation is the downside. Sleeping in the car is an alternative, but imo that would be the same as doing it in 1 day? Say you leave lunchtime one day, arrive lunchtime the next, you essentially still spend a full day driving and will be wrecked for the rest of the day when you get there. Not sure if you'd sleep well enough in a car so that you'd have any extra energy the next day versus what you'd have at the end of a day's driving... anyone done it before and can comment if sleeping in a car makes you feel more rested than driving all day long? |

Slept in a car driving Darwin to Perth for 5-6 weeks . Only thing is the car we had was a big estate & was uncomfortable as fcuk & was only two of us in it . But if its 4 of ye then 1 night wont make a difference will it ? You will be as tired after a brutal sleep esp the driver seat

Seems this carrefour spot will get a lot of business next June from all of us over there. Seen it mentioned alot when I was looking into things while planning my budget out. Seen people saying can get cases of beer for around €10 mark which if true will do very nicely especially for the week we have in arcachon |

Super U is another one, loads of them around, big supermarkets like Dunnes or Tesco. If anyone can find a website with prices etc throw up the link, couldn't locate one when I was looking the other night. |

Personally, I'd just blast it all in one day. Otherwise its like death with a thousand papercuts. Split it over two days and I think you just end up wasting another day travelling as you'll still be in the motor for 5 hours or more each day. Did London to Glasgow a few times when I lived down there. 6hrs non stop each way, so nearer 7 hrs each way with fuel stops etc.. Two drivers. Tiring but more than doable. You'll get to Lille tired but can be in your bed for 11 or 12 and hit the ground running the next day. Also, 4 of you sleeping in a fiat cinquecento??? Not a chance. Guarantee after an hour of listening to the non drivers, snoring, farting, talking to their mum in their sleep that one of the drivers just says f**k this and starts driving anyway

Ya, think we will just go for it in a day tbh. Be an all day job but at least you know that before you start and you don't screw over half of another day aswell. |

@redman, so what happens if a woman wants you to go out with her over there?

Cheers for the link. Ya, that's the logo for a carrefour alright, it appears it's an online shopping website. 15cent per litre of bottled water - that's the French supermarkets I know and love! |

Exactly! Doubt we'll have to worry about that a soccer tournament, but there will be an emergency fund just in case! |

Just ask the countless Irish men who ended up in relationships and had numerous one night stands in Poland
