Driving
Rules of the road are strictly enforced in France and laws are very similar to those seen in the UK. However, rural roads around Carcassonne Airport often require extra care, particularly those headed into the Pyrenees where winter conditions can show up unexpectedly on steep and curvy roadways. British drivers should be careful to turn to the right side of the road when leaving fuel stations and car parks.

See our guide to France for more information on driving here.

Transport
