Our vehicle is great. The Peugeot Partner. It is very spacious inside and has fold down trays for the kids. They have been engrossed in movies/games on the iPads.
The A10 was an amazing highway. Well maintained with many rest areas that all had very clean washrooms. You paid for the service; however, the tolls on the way to Bordeaux added up to about 50.00E.
Bordeaux is a beautiful city and we stayed in its armpit. Cristin booked a cheap hotel that was 30.00 E. Amazing deal, but it was in the industrial district and looked like a storage unit.
