Driving in France is super easy and the autoroutes are the most convenient routes to use albeit they will have a cost, depending on your distanced travelled and which autoroutes taken. Some people may also prefer to take the leisurely routes through picturesque french villages and towns. We find that having a great route planning app is essential to help plan your journey.
