A left hand mirror is compulsory. Preferably a convex door mirror to
increase the angle of view. Also use one of those wide convex interior
mirrors that is clamped to the existing mirror.
Driving in France can be a whole new experience. It most certainly is
not as relaxed as in the USA. The rules of the road and road signs do
differ considerably from those in the USA. All to be found on the
internet or through the AAA. Use the back roads, less tiring, cheaper
and much more fun than the toll roads. Plenty of small hotels around for
decent money. You also need French government approved two alcohol
tests, they are compulsory.
