As the school vacation starts on Friday July 5th (see French School Holidays 2012-2013 for more information) so does traffic congestion on French roads. Every Friday and Saturday in July has at least one day as Red or Orange. With the last two Friday and Saturday are particularly difficult. The best advice is try and travel early in the morning or on Sunday.
