Green Laning in France...

Oct 08, 2004 4 Replies

Does anyone know what the law is in France with regard to Green Laning, what can and cant you drive?



Also, what are the best maps? IGN - Top 25 series??



Next time we go over the water I'd like to hunt a few lanes out - Any suggestions? We will be going from Zebrugge down towards Annecy.



Thanks Jon



I have heard that Greenlaning as we know it does'nt exist. All the land in France is owned by individuals and you need L Owners permission to drive on it. that can be a problem as the French tend to split land up between sons in the family and the plots can be quite small. However as I said this is only what I have read and I am probably wrong.

M'mmm interesting... Can anyone confirm this (or otherwise)?

thanks Jon

I think its actually that greenlaning doesn't exist as such because the lanes are actually roads and used as such.

I have sent Eric an email - hopefully that will shed some light on the situation.

Many Thanls. Jon
