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.

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

Try getting in touch with http://www.mudplug.co.uk/ , they run weekends
around northern france but Eric (1 of the owners) is a helpful soul and may
well be able to tell you the rules and regs
