Page 1 of 12: Introduction

This was our fourth trip to France and a chance to visit some new areas. We had hoped to spend a few days in Paris at the end, but family committments prevented that. Next time.

It is a long trip from regional Queensland - over thirty hours from walking out our front door to landing at CDG at 5pm on Friday. We stayed overnight at Ibis CDG before flying out next morning for Bordeaux. Here we collected our leased car and began our adventure - on the wrong side of the road for us!
