Minimum Driving Age

[Jem]

This may sound silly but what is the minimum age for none French people driving in France and is there a minimum age for driving on motorways in France.

Reason for asking is that my two sons are coming this year for the first time and want to drive themselves - 21 and 19.

I'm sure they'll be ok, but better to check.

Thanks

Jem

According to http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/countrybycountry.html?mySelect=http%3A%2F%2Freporting.theaa.com%2Fcgi-bin%2Frr.cgi%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.theaa.com%2Fmotoring_advice%2Ftouring_tips%2FAA_France_Monaco.pdf%26nourl%3Dwww.theaa.com%2Fmotoring_advice%2Ftouring_tips%2FAA_France_Monaco.pdf&go.x=41&go.y=13&go=Go%21 the AA you must have a full UK licence and be 18 or more. They should be OK if they have a licence & insurance!

The thought of my 2 daughters (22 & 18) driving me to Marseilles in October (Rugby World Cup quarter finals) leaves me cold - not sure I want to afford the insurance!
