Hence and Why

Can someone please tell me if the following sentence makes sense.

'Because the roads in France are better it will take a shorter driving distances to reach places. Hence why we should drive to Paris in one day'

I want to know if the use of 'Hence why' is correct, or if only one of them should be used in this place.

We usually use the word why as a question adverb or as a conj. " or "the reason why i'm here is that i need to visit my mother" I hope this helps to solve your doubts, my friend. The word hence means although.
