Would it be difficult for an American to drive a Smartcar around northern France in late Dec.? |
Travel Info is there much snow? rain? thinking of driving from Paris to Mont St. Michel-> Tours-> loire valley Travel Tips Driving within Paris is an absolute nightmare. Avoid this at all costs, if possible. Remember that Smart Cars are basically two seats and that's it. There's not really any trunk or storage space, so if you are going to have suitcases or anything, you may want to rethink your car choice. Try using mappy.com to map out where you are going. They generally have great maps, complete with signage and even where the speed cameras are! But, also get a French road map for your region along with a Paris map (the rental car place should have one). Have fun! Source(s): http://www.mappy.com Other Travel Tips Once you get outside the insanity of driving in Paris and into the countryside, you should not have any problems.. It is possible for you to run into both snow and rain during that time of year, but it would be more on the unusual side to have a large accumulation of snow to adversely impact driving. Have fun.. you will be driving through a very beautiful area. hi there honestly dont think its a good idea as the smart is a really a city car made for convenience and tight parking spots. it literally is the size of half a car so you can park in parallel to the curb or facing the curb (its that small!!). driving to the loire valley and mont st michel are long drives (over 3 hours) and you will not be able to fit 2 people and luggage into a smart. get a slightly larger car, that can handle longer distances, with heating, for ex a megan, twingo, polo, clio etc if you still want a small car but a little more comfort and space for travel. right now we are having an indian summer so not sure when the snow will hit but it will def be chilly and wet in the loire and mont st michel at that time of the year. you should have no problem but i would pick a bigger car http://www.a-taste-of-france.com... If there is snow on the motorway, then driving a bigger car won't help you anyway. Besides you're likely to get stuck. Driving a smart is not a problem, the weather may be at this time of the year. Make sure to see the reports before going on the road, that's all. |
