Hello all, I've just had an idea and wanted to submit to you to see if there 's any mileage to it. Purpose of the trip is to combine cheaper servicing costs and some sighstseeing/shopping. Outline is as follows: very early Le Shuttle departure (or stay over the night before) and drive...

Spent today driving from Barcelona to Barbizon, just south of Paris :) Apart from the fact that we came via the stunning Millau viaduct, the car was brilliant, etc etc, I made a discovery I thought I'd share.... If you use the viamichelin route planner for journeys in France, they include...

GTG in Western France (Paizay-Naudouin - about 430 miles from Calais) We get there on Thursday 13th Sept and come home on Sunday 23rd Sept (flying this time) Any dates OK by us. Accomodation should not be a problem and is gratis. Can collect from airports if needed - Poitiers (from Stanstead)...

As per title, one genuine Tele Atlas France 2004 disk. I used this last year in my CLK C209 without problems. Got us to where we wanted to go and back! As I no longer have the Merc, thought I'd offer it up for grabs. PM me if interested. Works on APS comand units 1.0 and 2.0. Is TMC enabled...

I have just read in the French press that as of 1st Jan this year, an agreement between France and the UK has made it possible for you to get points on your licence for offences comitted in France. You would still pay the fine to the French authorities but DVLA will be informed of your offence...

What would be involved in bringing over a family member's car from france? Can you drive it over on a one-way ticket for example or do you need proof of a return for Eurostar? Obviously could buy a return and not go back! I'm thinking costs as: Headlight alignment changing...

We’ve just returned to bonnie Scotland from our annual sojourn to la belle France, visiting again our favourite areas around Semur-en-Auxois and also to the west of Tournus, near Cluny. The car covered just under 1700 faultless miles – thereby doubling the mileage of the previous 11 months...

I have a W210 Comand 2.0 CD version using the latest 2006 French TMC enabled DX CD, and when I recently returned from visiting Versailles/Paris I used the Dynamic routing option but when I tried it both at Calais and in Paris both times the system couldn't find the Radio channel transmitting the...

Just got back to Blighty after a fortnight driving through France and Spain in our C180 Elegance. As expected, the car performed perfectly throughout the 2500 mile trip with 4 in, fully loaded and a full roofbox. Even with the 1.8 engine it pulled well, only changing down into 4th on the long...

I'm off to France with the E and will be reliying on Chloe (Comand) to get us around for the next two weeks. Has anyone used Comand in France and, if so, how good is she at keeping you off the toll roads? Is it enough to rely on the "avoid tolls" setting, or is it better to add "avoid...

Here's my boy resting after a 5 hour jaunt down the south west of France. The seats are superb - not an ache was had.

Hi Everyone, Firstly sorry for not being around much recently, but I'm in the process of temporarily relocating to Zurich, which is taking up a lot of my time right now... ...Just thought I'd tell you about a few of the cars I saw this weekend in and around Reims and Epernay. We took Mrs...

My Mum is now living in France, she has had my old A Class out their for a couple of years but is now selling it and wants to get a left hand drive A Class or C Class Coupe which is sorted for France. It needs to be a diesel. Does anyone have any contacts or can recommend where to look? It...

Boy, you blighters fair prattle on – I go away for three weeks and come back to around 500 new posts!!! :D But I’ll struggle on… And during those three weeks we did not see a newspaper or watch telly – Bush could’ve nuked the rest of the world, for all we knew! Scottish readers will know...

Just read the adventure Dittrich has had going to Russia and back wow. We won't match the 8000 miles!!! We are spending most of the trip in Spain and just driving through France, although our first stop is at a great looking Chateau just outside Tours. We have booked half a dozen Paradors to...

Well we made it. Thanks to those on here for advice re speeds etc. Had a good trip - from London to the South of France in 10 hours, with only one fill up of fuel ! Here's a pic of the car in the sun.... Didn't do a lot - did visit Monte Carlo, which is a lot more crowded than I...
