Seeing France Through A Mobile Home

Each year, there is a special spell when a majority of the French take a trip for their holidays. The event occurs on the first day of August when nearly all roads lead to the south of France, so a enormous traffic jam extends at the toll gates, which start to look like parking lots. When the clock strikes noon, the place turns into picnic spots, where slices of dried sausages and bottles of wine are shared among several families who become instant buddies. So, despite the aforementioned problem, the spectacle is really intriguing. You can see each car and examine the groups with the children sitting at the back and the parents sitting in front.

I recall when I toured France with a friend a long time ago by caravan. We used a trailer, equipped with all of life's daily facilities and pulled by a big vehicle. We started from Dover to Marseille then traveled to Avignon, staying in a small town called Barjac near Orange. The week after we visited Bordeaux, we passed through small roads, then back to Dover driving through Orleans. It was one of the top holidays I've had and I really adored it because we got to pass by France's beautiful countryside; next time, though, I would like to drive and experience maneuvering a caravan.
