I struggled with the language but as long as you can remember:

left = gauche
right = droite

You should be OK

Waze instructions stay in English but you have to change the setting from MPH to KPH on your mobile before you set off as you cant do it on your touchscreen once you are underway. 2021 P400 Silicon Silver AB

I've used Waze extensively in France & it works well.

In one way, it's better than the UK as people report speed cameras as police presence, so the alert is more obvious.

Google own Waze of course, so should think the maps are pretty much identical.

I prefer Waze though, as it seems better at reporting hazards ahead, as reported by the Waze community. Except when some moron has been reporting every single imperfection on a motorway as a pothole...

emission sticker for france on my list to get but didnt know about the one for germany ..now added

i also think the reporting on waze is better then google ,i do like been able to plan a route (more then one destination) on google tho which i use a lot for work.

I have always found Waze better for driving (avoiding traffic, quicker routes etc) but Google maps is better for actually navigating - finding the address, saving location etc. Waze can also send you down some very odd/ tight routes. 1993 Range Rover Classic 3.9 Vogue

I use Waze in our cars, in fact, most French folk have it.

It is perfectly legal.

Waze does have a tendency to route you via strange roads sometimes, even if it only saves a few yards.

Although it isn't allowed to notify you about cameras, it will say 'Police reported ahead' that usually means there is a fixed camera, or, actual Police. Some cameras now detect other offences like phone use, lack of seatbelt and tailgating.

The prosecution threshold for speeding is; 5kph for roads below 100kph and 5% for roads above 100kph. Despite that, the latest figures show 15 million drivers were fined for speeding.

Enjoy the trip.

P.S. In France, breathalyzers are no longer mandatory, however, a triangle is and also at least one high vis vest reachable from within the car.

good info, thank you  ... - .- -.
