Introduction to DIY travel by car in France and Europe

Dear fellow travellers,
Objective of this blog

It is written as a guide for travellers who love to DIY travel by car, to visit France and Europe easily and enjoy this country, France.

I speak French, but you don't have to lose out, for French people are pretty nice and I have outlined some interesting places for you to discover.

My guide is not on Paris nor did I drive in Paris. It's to discover other parts of France, beyond the big cities. In fact, I would discourage people from driving in Paris, as you would be frustrated by the traffic jams, expensive parking, etc...not to mention that Paris is visited easily via public transport. Their métro(subway) system is very good and efficient and brings you to all the places you want to see.

I have also listed our favorite food in France in "what to eat ?"...Most of the time, we would prefer to cook, ie why we have chosen to stay in Airbnb homes for our travel. It's also our first experience staying in such homes in Europe. We also tend to stay longer in a place and move around that place, as we dislike the hassle of moving our suitcases.

We do not generally visit monuments or places of historical interest. We are there for walks, food and shopping (for my wife). Therefore, we tend to visit local markets (marché in French) whenever possible, and also supermarkets. The marché is normally not opened everyday, but it's possible to find a market on any particular day in a region.
