Great roads in Provence and
all of France make highway
driving very similar to travel in
Canada or the US.
Toll roads marked "Peage",
speed the trip but costs can
add up. There will most often
be a free road running parallel
to the toll road that will take
you through the small and
interesting villages.
Villages will have a reduced
speed zone of 50 K and then
down to 30 K.
Speeding is radar controlled.
They have ample rest areas
some with RV dumping
stations. Some have food
and gas stops similar to what
you encounter in the States or
Canada.
A stash of small change in
coins will speed you through
the automatic toll gates.

villages have paid parking
with a ticket and automated
system.

and insert it into the machine
when leaving. It will tally the
cost and you pay with coin or
credit card. Insert the ticket in
the gate as you leave. At
others you prepay and leave
the ticket on the dashboard so
that the attendant can see it.
These large lots at the edge of
the city or village can
