Whether we remain in the EU, or not, France will always offers a wealth of attractions, most notably to motorists, either travelling there by ferry, or via the Channel tunnel. Naturally I always arm myself with Michelin maps and the firms restaurant and accommodation guide, as well as the most recent sites directory, whenever tackling French trips.
