OK, not saying there is anything wrong with France or anything, well, actually, I am. Without trying to offend, France is the worst place that I have ever been on holiday. After spending 24 hours there I wanted to go home, unfortunately I couldn’t.
It started off bad really, I always get ill on ferrys. Not just ill but constantly puking and not even being able to walk without help, so I guess going on a hovercraft was a stupid idea. I started to get a little bit worried when they straped the cars down. I didn’t see much else of the hovercraft because I spend the rest of the time in the toilets which they had kindly placed on the outside of the ship for maximum uppy downy movement.
After the ferry trip we had to find the campsite, fair enough, but you have to pay to use the roads!!!! It’s not cheap either but it’s a choice of paying or using the dirt tracks by the side.
On finding the campsite the tent was in that much of a state with mould growing up it, damp, smelly, we had to pay extra for a caravan. When we were told that it was the luxury was of camping we really didn’t know what to say.
Trip to Paris - good idea? No. It was dirty, smelly and over rated. I know England isn’t perfect but compared to Paris, London is really clean. The underground, well, whoever designed that needs shooting. They only put the names of the stations on the actual platform so you have to walk all the way down there just to find out that you are on the wrong side and have to walk all the way up again. If you are planning to go on the underground keep hold of your belongings - we had a lot of trouble with pickpockets.
Disneyland Paris - what a waste of money. If you are going with kids, fair enough, there’s a lot there for kids. However, if you have been lucky enough to visit California or Florida it’s a waste of time going to Paris. And don’t expect any translations for any language, if you don’t speak French, tough.
If you are planning a holiday, I would advise staying at home for a week rather than go to France. It’s not a place I would return to.
And if you’re wondering, no, it was not a good holiday.
