Do you know how to drive a manual gear change - as they may or may not have an automatic. The Peugeot 2008 is not what I would call compact but then I am not American. I have no idea where you are headed but if you arrive before 10.00 - be prepared for some of the worst and most aggressive driving in arguably the worst traffic jams in Europe unless it is not during the working week. If you gave us some times of your arrival and departure I could perhaps help be more precise. I would love to help if I can,

Please let me assure you that France is wonderful. Paris is not France.

Thanks for the detailed response. The plan was to visit Reims and Epernay, but alas I never made it across the pond this time. Sounds like next time I should go for long enough where I can just take the train.
