Breakdown cover ????? are you serious

Hotels - I did all the research on this the last time, and its not expensive.

Hotel Campanile (San Douchard, just off the motorway - halfway) was £40 for family room for us !

- cheap as chips, and quite nice.

Don't some firms provide limited cover for up to 1-2 weeks within Europe anyway?

Legal requirements in France:

You must have a florescent jacket in the car, (not the boot), for each person in the car. A lot of people mistakenly assume they only need one for the driver.
It is illegal to travel without spare bulbs and fuses for your vehicle.
Unless you have a new style EU number plates then you must have GB sticker on your car
Warning triangles are to be used in the event of breakdown.
You must have Headlamp Beam adaptors fitted for continental driving, even if you are travelling on the first day of your trip during the daylight.
You MUST take photocopies of your insurance, vehicle registration documents, MOT etc. as you may need them at customs, but definitely if you get stopped by the police.
You will need both parts of your driving licence with you.

Worth bearing in mind (thank you Google!)

Been across Europe a few times now (just not in the Supe, yet) and it's surprising the different requirements for all the European countries! It's always worth checking just in case.

Spanish Cops - NO sense of humour !
