Well, yes I have actually and it's not an experience I'd repeat willingly. Especially as we missed the exit for our autoroute, took the next one to 'turn round' and ended up driving down the Champs-Elysées.
@Nano : It was more the lack of both congestion charging and increasingly stringent regs I was hinting at. I can only imagine the shedloads of protests that would occurr if there was a hint of such things.
I thought that the majority of roundabouts here were now the same as the rest of the EU, give way to traffic on the roundabout. Out here in the sticks though you still come across junctions where you have to give way to the right. I bet it catches out a lot of UK tourists!!
