Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Check your seat and mirrors, test the brakes and blinkers, and get used to its handling before you set off. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in France.
Local speed limits are often about 45kph through urban areas and around 125kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.
