"Motorists should plan ahead for heavy traffic on French roads this weekend, as people return home with the Toussaint school holidays drawing to a close. The last weekend of October not only marks two events in the cultural calendar (Halloween and Toussaint), but it is also the final weekend of the autumn school holidays. As a result, French roads are expected to be busier than usual, with families returning home from their trips."
