... Most
of the roads here in France are in excellent condition, even the single
track roads through the middle of nowhere!

Not according to a grandson who lives in the more southern sticks. There
are just tracks, he says.

I stand corrected :-). My experience of the roads only covers Northern
France and down to the Dordogne. The roads are certainly better maintained
than where we lived in England. The road was in a dreadful condition back
there and had been for many years then joy oh joy a new road surface and new
pavements were laid.
Two weeks afterwards Diamond Cable came along and dug it all up leaving
raised manhole covers and deep groves in the pavements :-(
