You would have been no more than a couple of hours away from me as you went through Souillac. I'm in the Lot region. What made you choose Bluetti over Ecoflow?
A lot of it came down to price. I got a good deal on the Bluetti (well, both of them). Mine are both the AC200MAX, but a newer model was in the pipeline, so I think they were getting rid of the soon-to-be-obsolete model. I stopped one night in Souillac a couple of years ago. My mum used to have a house in the Montagne Noire in the 1990s, so I used to use the N20 a lot (excuse the pun) and Souillac was a familiar part of the journey.
Very typical of many of the British immigrants who live in France, avoid the autoroutes as they cost money. Very sad that they pay to use much more fuel on the backroads.
Money is not the issue (for me at any rate). I try to avoid the free ones as well. I use the autoroutes when I need to, but I enjoy travelling through France and sitting on an autoroute you see nothing of the areas you're travelling through. You don't stop at local boulangeries or épiceries and aren't aware how the architecture is changing as you travel.
@@TheRogerie Yes, there is that as well. Sometimes you have to take quite a detour to get onto an autoroute and, at the speed I travel, I often don't make up the time spent getting to it.

Sometimes the old roads are alot shorter in distance,so you save fuel and see more of the proper france
