I'm going again in August, I'll not bother getting new ones, apparently they can go out of date. Vive la France! Liberté!

Only time I got breathalysed was in Perth, Western Australia. Out there they shut the road and everyone coming through was breathalysed, no if's and buts.
Ironically, and for brief while worryingly, I was driving back from a wine tasting trip....
Sensibly I'd not had much and all was well, but I had a brief vision of my fiancée trying to find the embassy and getting legal aid!
