We are looking forward to testing the car on the excellent French roads during the summer. Heading for Frejus in April and staying until Oct! Civics are very rare there.

That's for sure, the Civic is a very exclusive car in France. The total figures of cars Honda sold in 2007 in France is 15631 cars (Jazz, Civic, Civic Hybrid, CRV, FRV, Accord) wich is the best figure ever made by honda (the former record was 15478 in 1992) and they plan to have 28000 cars sold in 2010 with 135 dealers (88 dealers for the whole France at the moment). So as you see we are well under the figures you are use in the North of Europe/Uk/Ireland.
You've made a good choice for your staying in France. Fréjus and the area is really lovely. I was used to go there with my parents during the summer. If you like Jazz there is a famous festival in Juan-les-Pins.
Oh, and if you need a good Honda dealer in France, the one in Aix en Provence (It's a little bit far from Fréjus) was very helpfull this winter.
