Hi,
My husband and will be in Paris in February we want to come to Reims and Epernay to visit the champagne houses.
We are looking at hiring a car from outside Paris and driving there and around spend 2 nights and then drive back to Paris. Being from Australia, will this be difficult to do?
Otherwise the option would be to catch a train to Reims then hire a car; we were just trying to save the 100 E + in train costs when we will be in the end hiring a car anyways.....

Once you get outside Paris, driving in France is not difficult. The roads are good and well-signposted, and usually the traffic is not heavy.
There are speed cameras everywhere, so watch your speed: 50 km/h in built-up areas, 90 km/h on ordinary roads, 110 km/h divided highway, 130 km/h autoroute. The start of 50 km/h zones is marked by a sign with the name of the town or village; the end by a similar sign with a red diagonal line across it. Quite often these are the only indication of a speed limit change.

Europcar has a location on the Avenue d%26#39;Italie which is very easy to drive in and out of. For driving directions on mappy or viamichelin, use Porte d%26#39;Italie as the starting point.

Thank you will have a look out.
I will have to remember those speed zones i do have a little bit of a lead foot, lol.
Cheers
