Plenty. Where are you staying and what port are you travelling from?
Stick to the limits in towns and villages. The 30 limit (50kmh) starts as soon as you pass the town sign (with the red border) and ends when you go past the end of town sign (same sign but with a black line through it.
Don't take the piss with the speed limits everywhere else. The Main roads have a 90kmh (55mph) limit. Enjoy the ride rather than trying to see how fast you can go.
Take a spare set of bulbs
Take a high viz vest (stick it under the seat)
Don't bother with the breathalysers as the fine for not having this is less than buying a set. The fine is €0.
Enjoy the N roads (green signs) and avoid the toll roads if you can.
Ride on the right
Keep a bloody good eye out for traffic emerging from side roads. The older Frenchies still believe they have priority and in many rural areas (and some towns) they still do. Basic rule, if there is no stop line on that junction, they have priority.
Don't drink and ride
Probably others I have forgotten for now.
