The Paris Express...

We decided to drive to Paris from Heidelberg as map24 showed it was only 5 and a half hours away. We actually made it in a little less than five hours and maintained moderate speed while in Germany (where many parts of the autobahn have no speed limit).

The speed limit in France is generally 130 kph (80 mph). We left Heidelberg at about 7:30 am on a Monday an encountered no traffic and very little construction on the way. We returned on a Thursday evening, leaving the park at 17:30 or so. I'm not sure how, but the return trip was even faster (we encountered a lot of stretches of low speed limits due to construction).
