Trips Further Afield from Cannes

Trips Further afield from Cannes
Trips Further Afield From Cannes
For most trips further afield a car is usually a necessity. We can recommend the Verdon Gorges and Valley of the Roya as spectacular places to visit. The French drive well on the motorways (autoroutes) keeping to the inside lane except when overtaking, unlike motorists in Britain.  The speed limit is 110 kilometers per hour in the Alpes Maritimes. unlike the rest of France 130kph (just over 80 mph). Watch out for radar speed traps which are not always signposted.
When the French drive on ordinary roads, however, there can be problems. They drive too close - fear of another squeezing in front - and using indicators (clignotants) is clearly far too informative for other drivers.  But what confuses all French drivers is the roundabout (rond-point) - a gift from the British. Giving way to others on the roundabout directly contradicts priorité à la droite, the age old driving rule in France. 

Never mind, there is always the horn (klaxon) which informs the driver in front the lights have changed to green.  It is also a way of showing dislike for strangers including Parisians (number plate ending in 75).
​
So beware (prenez garde) but enjoy (appréciez).

Watch out

The whole of the A8 motorway in Alpes Maritimes department has a speed restriction of 110km/h.
So beware those radar traps - and police with mobile radar guns!

Settle down for 53 hours in a train - to Moscow.  If you have a couple days free and a spare 300 euros, you could get on board the Nice-Moscow luxury train, travelling through Italy, Austria, Poland, Belarus at a steady 40mph.
