Best program Sir Percy Blakeney's number into your cell phone. The Bastille is depressing to be in this time of year.

Kits are widely available and not expensive and have a shelf life of 2 years) , I've just bought a pack of 5 for £12.95 - however they must be NF approved and carry the NF logo - beware imitations and any kit without a blow into bag is a copy. Also Hi viz jackets (with EN471 approved reflective stripes) for each occupant to be worn if you need to vacate your vehicle on a motorway hard shoulder, or you will be fined if stopped by the gendarmes and get out of the car without wearing one. BasIcally this means 2 or 3 reflective stripes - a yellow waistcoat with either two horizontal reflective stripes, or one horizontal and one over each shoulder. You also need a set of spare light bulbs - the list goes on - And do obey speed limits, especially in villages as there are many mobile cameras around with on the spot fines - on this do make sure you have downloaded the latest Garmin/TomTom 'SAFETY' camera zone software as it is now illegal to have French 'SPEED' Camera Zones installed on your device (not sure how they prove this though) - I am sure Quentin will have a list of essentials included when he sends out his packs. Despite all this France is a wonderful country to go touring in, just don't think you can become a boy racer and take liberties just because you are abroad and on holiday.
