Enjoyed exploring the countryside of Toulon, France 🇫🇷. Self driving can be a great way to explore the region when you have limited time. However, it is not for the faint of heart, many of the roadways are narrow “goat trails” and you do a lot of preying that you will not meet an oncoming vehicle as one of you will need to back up until you find a safe place to pull over and let the other pass. 😱 However, the stresses of driving was well worth it as we got to see and discover sites we would not have been able to. 🚗 #toulon #roadtrip #cruiselife #winetasting #ruins #france Go Beyond the Ordinary, ready for a road trip?
