France Highway Travel
Great roads in Provence 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
KPH and then down to 30 K.
Speeding is radar controlled.
The toll roads issue a ticket
and collect the fee at the exit.
The toll highways 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.
Most cities and some of the
villages have paid parking with
a ticket and automated system.
Take a ticket when entering
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 accommodate
the smaller RV available for
rent in France

Renting an RV in Europe is a
simple process. Several cities have wide
assortments of Diesel models. They are
smaller than the usual Canada or US
model. Shopping on line well in advance
can give you the best options. The ability
to drive a standard shift will be a
consideration.
