Also you should let your bank know which countries you are travelling to before you leave home. Even though we did this, we still had all our accounts locked by our bank for a few days. Not sure whether it was because of the Euronet ATM withdrawal or what but we were unable to access any internet banking online or withdraw any funds from any ATMs. We had to phone home to sort it out into the wee hours.

Other than that – everything went beautifully with our Peugeot 308, thank you!

Here are a couple of photos – one taken in the Valensole plateau and the other in the Verdon Gorge area, with the village of Moustiers Saint Marie in the background. A truly lovely part of France!
