"The majority of France's autoroutes are toll roads, but there are over 2,500 km of toll-free autoroutes managed by the government, essential for rural connectivity."
"The free sections often serve less-populated areas, vital for economic and social development, despite having fewer services compared to their toll-paying counterparts."
France boasts around 11,000 km of autoroutes, with a significant portion being toll roads. However, more than 2,500 km of toll-free autoroutes exist, crucial for accessibility in less-populated areas. A government report from March 2025 details that of the 1.1 million km of roads, only 11,752 km are classified as autoroutes. Most of these (9,211 km) are toll-based, while the 2,541 km of non-concessionary autoroutes are maintained by the government and aim to support local economies despite offering lesser service facilities.
