They made me drive in Paris and around the infamous Champs Eylsees and all through France. So I'm now driving on the opposite side of the road and in the UK right hand drive car, they drive left hand obviously.
It was bad enough driving to the right around roundabouts but to drive this one and survive(only just) is crazy. Yes someone nearly cleaned us up and it wasn't my fault. The french don't know how to drive around it either, what hope do foreigners have. There are no words to describe it except CRAZZZZZY.
To give you an idea

Someone thought it would be a good idea to host a vintage Citroen car show on the edge of this roundabout and the adjacent square. So not only are you trying to negotiate your way around with pyscho french drivers but the merrily wandering car enthusiasts just dawdling onto the roundabout. I tell you, it's complete madness. We also saw the Louvre, Notre Dame,of the Eiffel tower and many other sights. We firstly drove around and then decided to do the Hop on Hop off bus which is what we have done in other cities. It is a brilliant way to see a lot of sights and with audio commentary.      The Louvre
We had a glimpse of the Palace of Versailles as we were there in Versailles but it was too late to visit and the next day was way too busy for us to go there. Disappointing but oneway we will get there.
Our visit to France was truly lovely in every aspect.
