☀️ Breaks That Feel Like a Vacation – On the Road in France
When traveling to your vacation rental in Southern France, the roads can get quite busy. Being well-prepared is essential. Ensure you bring enough water and snacks to stay hydrated and energized. In addition to these preparations, taking regular breaks is crucial to stretch your legs and prevent fatigue.
Along the highways in France, there are two types of rest areas where you can stop:
⛽ Aires de Service’ – Full-Service Rest Areas
These rest stops include gas stations and often have shops and restaurants, making them perfect for an extended break. One popular option is the Paul bakery chain, where you can enjoy delicious sandwiches, salads, pastries, and a great cup of coffee.
You can locate Paul bakeries throughout France by visiting their official website.
🌿 ‘Aires de Repos’ – Scenic Rest Areas
These stops do not have gas stations, making them much quieter and more nature-focused. For families with children and pets, some of these areas feature fantastic playgrounds and plenty of open space to run and play. Your child can burn off energy and hop back into the car feeling refreshed.
Most rest areas along French highways also have designated, fenced-in spots where your dog can stretch and enjoy the fresh air.
