While touring through France, make sure you leave your passport in Bordeoux while travelling on to your next gig in Montpellier.
Get refused entry on a cramped, horrible Easy Jet flight to Luton or wherever. Then spend the next half a day travelling by train through some of the most beautiful wine regions to get home.
Was a little miffed at first to spend my gig money on the return trip, but the experience of 'flying' through the french country side, washing down a 'Parisienne' with a good Bordeoux while chatting to beautiful french ladies.... Sorry Easy Jet, it just doesnt compare.
