Off to Switzerland and Italy
We're off to Switzerland and Tuscany for a couple of weeks shortly, as I understand, Breathalyzers are no longer needed, anything else changed ?

You don't need them yet. 25 January this year, the French government decided they are still undicided for now... Mr. Green
You won't get fined.

I've just come back from the Pyrenees in my 90. Took the ferry to Bibao and then to the French side of the Pyrenees. Fantastic views and the unsaved roads, found on a good map are fantastic, but not for the faint hearted or those scared of heights. Drove back to Caens via Tours on the return. Have a look on Google Earth either side of Garvarnie, just south of Lourdes. Thumbs Up LANDYWATCH
