To France

[KentColin]

This post is not Lexus related but I think it's in the right place. I guess there may be a few owners on here who also ride a motorcycle.

I've been touring Europe by bike since 1980 but not been  over there since Brexit for various reasons . This September my wife and I are going to Normandy and am getting contrary info on what we need to have like reflective helmet stickers, breathalysers , hi viz jackets etc. 

 Has any one been to France this year and can tell me what we need to do before we go and what do  we need to take ?

Thanks

Colin  ... I always found the RAC a good source of proper advice for European travel preparedness

Good luck

I've driven to France a couple of times in the last few months, so can't comment specifically on bikes, but here's what I know.

Apart from the usual stuff, I believe you also need an emissions (crit'air) sticker for certain towns/cities. They only cost 3 or 4 euros and are valid for the life of the car/bike.

Here's a couple of links that might help:
