It's not so much the RAC as the people they deal with in France. Try breaking down in the middle of the night on a motorway and see where it gets you. Usually dragged to a a dark yard somewhere in the middle of the countryside and left. I find the Germans (ADAC) tend to have a go on your behalf more than the RAC. Even they can't make the French work at night or through thier lunch!

At least you are on your way to getting back on the road.
