Tripyo

France is a nice country to drive in. It has an excellent network of motorways, all roads are in good condition and the country has many scenic areas where driving is truly a pleasure.

The motorway is called "autoroute" in French. Motorways are excellent, but most of them are paid. You will either pay when exiting the motorway, based on the ticket you have received at the entrance or you will pay at various toll points on the road. If speed is not so important, you may choose other roads. This will save you some money, since motorway tolls in France are pretty high, compared to other countries. At the same time, other roads will allow you to see the beauty of this country and to stop in towns that you like.

France has both an excellent train network and a large number of airports. Depending on the distance you have to travel, the origin and the destination, you may choose any of these means of transport.

Trains cover virtually the whole country. Buses will take you further to remote destinations. Standard trains are in excellent condition and travel quickly. The TGV is a symbol of France, travelling at a very high speed. You can check train schedules and book tickets from www.voyages-sncf.com or www.ter-sncf.com, depending on your actual travel route. Of course, tickets can always be purchased in stations. Don't forget to validate your ticket on the platform before getting to the train. You will get fined if you fail to do so, even if your ticket is appropriate for that train.
