"How do they work exactly, bit confusing looking at vids on you tube, when you first come to one, do you take a ticket then when you come to the next toll barriers do you pay for the distance you have travelled so far, then take a new ticket ?" You take a ticket from the first toll then you pay for the distance you have travelled at the next one. When you arrive to the next 'region' you get another ticket, then pay when you leave that 'region'. You basically pay the 'Council' of the area you have travelled. Don't use the 'T.' 'Telecarte' lanes as they are for people who have priority cards/prepaid cards etc... Tolls can be very expensive but using motorway is fast. If you prepare your route you can may be look at avoiding some sections if you are travelling from North to South of France. Hope this helps | |||

"France is not too congested, so away from Paris which is a bit of a nightmare using the non toll roads is pretty quick. On a motorbike it is not too expensive, I have found that it costs about €30 to use a mixture of Toll and non Toll to get the quickest North to South route, against an extra €20 of fuel to avoid them. Never done it in a car or truck but I guess it works out about the same. Best advice is get a paper map on the dining table and work out various routes ensuring you are quick through the dull bits (mostly North of France) and use the time saved for the more interesting parts. Avoid Paris if you can, Paris Ring Road makes the M25 look fantastic! " i will be on the bike with some mates, are first venture out off the uk on bikes, must remember not to ride on the wrong side of the road, could get painful lol | |||

"i will be on the bike with some mates, are first venture out off the uk on bikes, must remember not to ride on the wrong side of the road, could get painful lol" Not too much of a problem pick a vehicle with French plates preferably a truck (pro drivers) and follow it from the port, that will keep you on the right side for the first few roundabouts and get you used to the wrong side of the road! Have fun, where are you going? | |||

I also second the tips given that a mix of toll and non-toll roads is the best mix. But make sure you do the Millau Viaduct it's amazing | |||

Have fun, where are you going? " the route is still in the planning stage, but thinking got to go along the coast to Normandy, and see what we stumble across, I normally get the job of planning the routes on the bike trips in the UK, but another guy seams quite keen on planning this trip, so I will leave it to him, as I am sure you know you can spend hours planning a trip, figuring out scenic roads, figuring out where you will be at the end of the day, then finding camp sites in that area, so you don't have to go hunting for them at the end of the day, I am happy to pass the baton to someone else for a change lol | |||
