I took out a years cover with the AA as it was cheaper than 30 days cover for my holiday! As we went abroad again within the year, it didn't work out quite so expensive. Bear in mind, if you breakdown on French motorways you will have to pay for recovery and then claim it back. Its because they are privately owned.Hi
I am also travelling to france for the first time i would think breakdown cover is essential, we contacted caravan club and got personal or motor cover from them at a good price too.
