The back country roads in the Alpilles of
Provence in the south of France connect the
villages that are usually not more than ten mile s
distant from one another. Few cars use these
roads in May and June or in September October
and they make a great place for biking and
hiking.
Olive groves line the roads and hiking trails with
are often well marked. The woods could be
closed in July and August depending on the fire
danger.
Do You need an International Driving Permit to drive in Europe.
In France and Italy you can rent a car and do not need to show an International Permit, only your drivers
license from your home country and perhaps your passport. Italian law requires that you carry an IDP as does
Spain, Portugal, Greece, and several of the former Soviet Union countries. The International driver's permit is
issued by the American Automobile Association AAA in the States and the CAA in Canada. The cost is $15
and not a bad bit of insurance against running into trouble while driving in Europe.
