Driving And Staying In France

Sometimes, you want to enjoy your travel time. Different destination and the different way. So, why not try to use car and explore France. Driving in France can be a real pleasure. The French have a very good system of highways called the Autoroute. The Autoroute is a network of over 7000 kilometers/4200 miles of roads. Like most transportation in France, it works on the hub system with Paris as the center.

Most of the freeway (autoroute) links are toll roads. Some have toll station giving you access to a section, others have entrance and exit toll stations. Tolls are either a flat rate paid as you enter the Autoroute or based on how far your drive. When you pay based on distance, you take a ticket at the station where you enter the Autoroute. When you exit, you give the ticket to the attendant at the exit station, and your toll will be determined. You can pay with either cash or credit card. Don't lose your ticket as you will pay the maximum toll.

On the fast Autoroutes, you are expected to drive on the right and pass on the left. If you are in the left lane, cars will approach within a couple of car lengths. There is nothing you can do about this, so try to avoid getting fixated on your rear view mirror and move to the right as quickly as you can.
