My husband and I are first time travelers to France this coming October. We are thinking of renting a car in Caen, driving down through the Loire Valley to Annecy. We would leave the car in Annecy and then taking the train from there to Paris for our departing flight. I know we should have flown into one city and out of another, but as it is our first trip to Europe and we are learning as we go. :)
Wondering if anyone has experience in renting in one town and dropping the car in another town? We would need to leave the car in Annecy on a Sunday when the rental agency is closed. I have reached out to one of the rental agencies to get their feedback as well. We're hoping for the freedom of a car rental to get from town to town and not have to rely strictly on trains as it seems that we'd have to go back up to Paris and then head back south for the route through France we're hoping to take.
Thanks in advance!
