Heading out on the open road in a different country can be a scary prospect, but it really doesn’t have to be.
Driving holidays offer a type of freedom that you can’t gain elsewhere. Rather than being limited one particular town or country, you can drive to the areas you want. Most package holidays can include public transport to popular areas, but who says that’s where you want to go?
Driving holidays tend to be associated with America, such as driving from one state to another, perhaps ending in Vegas. Yet Europe also offers jaw dropping scenery and a fantastic open road feel. As an example, Best Holiday Lettings recommend the route from London to Barcelona. Why? Because there is so much to see, not only do you drive through three countries, you see the lifestyle and weather change (and improve) significantly in stages.
The half way point on this journey is the centre of France, but before you make it to half way, stop off in Paris, the route runs directly through it. Not many people can say they were on a long drive and decided to have a cheeky stop off in Paris. Though you are technically driving through three countries, Barcelona is situated extremely close to the South of France, and the journey will offer tremendous views of beaches from France to Spain.
Why not put down the plane ticket and take the ferry over to France in your own comfortable vehicle, it could be the holiday that tops the rest.
