If you are planning to go on holiday to France next summer, you can already prepare for slightly higher prices at the toll booths. Or plan a route via the Route National, that is of course also possible.
For the second time in a short time, the rates for toll roads in France have been increased. The French government has increased them by an average of two percent since the beginning of this month, prices also rose by 0.44 percent last year. In practice, this means that you now have lost about €20.50 on a route where you lost €20 in 2020. The price increase, which is implemented every February, depends on the work on the motorways and inflation. Inflation has also risen sharply in France. In November it was 2.8 percent, mainly as a result of rising energy prices.
A large part of the French motorway network consists of toll roads. About 2,000 kilometers of this is run by the government, but the majority (9,000 kilometers) has been in the hands of private companies since 2006. Road manager Autoroutes du Sud de la France (ASF) raised the prices by 2.19 percent since February 1, the road manager of Autoroutes Paris-Rhin-Rhône increased them by 2.05 percent. The toll roads of Cofiroute (+1.89 percent) and Sanef (+1.91 percent) also became significantly more expensive, the newspaper reported. La Depeche.
