Ready, set...

We've ordered plane tickets from Sterling or Norwegian (can't remember - might even be a Sterling flight operated by Norwegian) from Oslo to Paris (Orly), the cheapest rental car from Budget Delivery from Amazon.co.uk: AA Road Atlas France, AA Caravan and Camping France , and The Rough Guide to French (which Astrid thinks was totally unneccessary to buy).

So, we're ready to plan our trip! The main target of the trip is to visit the Vieil family's summer house in Saint-Martin-Vésubie, which we've been invited to by Thomas. He and Iselin will meet us there around the end of June - beginning of July, and we'll (hopefully) have some fun visiting Nice and Monaco and enjoying the small area between the French Alps and the Mediterranean, close to the Swiss and Italian borders.

A useful tool for road-trips in Europe is ViaMichelin, which provides driving directions from A to B with tollroads (and the toll amounts, which proved to be beyond insane in France), speed traps,

Note to selves: First stop after our arrival in Paris on June 21st could be in the town Limeray (directions), at the campground named Le Jardin Botanique/113 (the botanic garden). It's an approximate 3 hour drive from the Orly airport in Paris. We could also go to Velles, to stay at Les Grands Pins/110. It's almost a 4 hour drive from Orly, if we stay away from the motorways.
