Tolls in France

[busby]

Typical of this forum nowadays, You get a question about toll roads in France,
Someone asks about the cost of living/touring in France,
One or Two give an honest assumption, which of course is based on experience,
Said contributors receive lectures like, Don't go there then, Ski Scotland ,
Your'e talking Tosh because you don't have to use the Toll roads.

As said, I've toured France for over 30 years and I am only 50. I have seen dramatic changes in the cost of touring France compared to the UK over that time. But I must be wrong, Despite the pound plummeting against the Euro from nearly 140 at one point to a pittance now, I must be wrong.
Despite the fact that Fuel increases in France has outstripped inflation, and certainly outstripped rises in the UK, I must be wrong.

I used to love France, as I said. But IMO,,, let me spell that out IN MY OPINION. it's not the wonderful country I used to take my kids too in the motorhome, there's some nice areas, some nice place's and even some nice people. It's not rose tinted specticals.

Or maybe, just maybe, I have found other places to represent better value than France either abroad and the UK. But as no-one is interested in my opinion on France, I will bow out and leave you lovely French lovers to carry on.

However, don't tell me to not go there, that's plain rude, don't describe a post as "Utter Tosh" and tell me something that I already know and never quoted. Don't dictate to me where I can and can't get out my Snowboard, I am fully aware of where I can and can't do that.

I am fortunate, I have enough money to spend the additional cost increases because on the whole, as some have said, it's a holiday and the price of fuel will probably translate to about £150 over a 2 week break, it ain't going to break the bank.
so you go off and enjoy wherever you choose to be, it's your choice, advice from me is look further afield. France is a dying country. IN MY OPINION and I am of course entitled to that view.

If like you its a 2 week break then cost is not a big problem ,,but many of us go for 3 months plus which makes hell of a difference,,BUSBY.
