Just a quick note on navigation in France without a GPS. If you don't speak French (I do) it can be a bit confusing at first when approaching large towns & cities following signs for a particular town or city further along your route. If signs showing where you are heading suddenly disappear then all you need to do is follow signs saying "TOUTES DIRECTIONS" or sometimes says "AUTRES DIRECTIONS" (meaning All Directions or Other Directions). If you keep following these signs you should eventually reach signage which directs you along your chosen route. My first few trips to France in the late 70's and early 80's had me cursing about French signage until the penny finally dropped and it then becam a piece of p**s.
