Cultural Tip
In France many people still keep a paper map in the glove compartment, especially for rural trips where mobile signal can be spotty. Printing an itinerary is seen as a practical, organized approach. However, in urban areas it’s common to rely on smartphone navigation, so mentioning that you’ll print a route can signal that you’re preparing for a longer or off‑grid journey.
