Grand Est, one of the largest regions in France, encompasses scenic and diverse landscapes, historic cities and charming little villages that are best visited by car. Here are the key things you should keep in mind when planning your road trip experience:
Most car rental companies offer a range of vehicles, from small economy cars to luxury models. If you're planning to navigate through the narrow streets of Alsatian villages, an economy car would be the perfect fit. Meanwhile, a spacious SUV might be useful if you're venturing into the Vosges Mountains.
Keep in mind that driving in France is on the right hand side, unlike in the UK. Also, the legal alcohol limit is 0.5g per litre of blood, which is lower than the UK's 0.8g. Always carry your driving license, ID, and insurance papers while driving.
From snowy peaks to vineyard terrains, Grand Est offers a rich array of attractions. Here are some unparalleled sites that might interest you:
As the capital of both Grand Est and the Alsace region, Strasbourg is well-known for its picturesque old town (Petit France), impressive Gothic cathedral, and its status as the 'Christmas Capital' owing to the oldest Christmas market in Europe.
Explore the beauty of Reims city, famed for the historic Reims Cathedral where French Kings were once crowned, and visit the renowned Champagne houses where the world-famous sparkling wine is produced.
Grand Est is characterised by varied landscapes, from the rolling vineyards of Alsace and Champagne region to the rugged terrains of the Ardennes and the snowy mountains of the Vosges. Thanks to its continental climate, it enjoys warm summers, making it an excellent destination for enjoying local festivals or a drive along the Route des Vins.
France uses the Euro (€) as its currency. Though credit cards are widely accepted, it is recommended to have some cash at hand for smaller establishments or rural areas.
Every season enlivens Grand Est with unique events; the 'Mirabelle Plum Festival' in summer, the 'Champagne Weekend' in autumn or the magical 'Christmas markets' in winter are not to be missed.
With careful planning and a trusty hire car, your adventures across the captivating landscapes and cities of Grand Est can become the journey of a lifetime.
