Hi.

You should only get charged the car rate in spain. Class 1. We have a tag axle burstner and most times only get charged class 1. Spanlsh tolls are cheaper than the french.

drove through France last year cost me over €250 in tolls, next year its the secondry roads for me, less monotonous and more scenic

If you have plenty of time to "amble along" then the secondary roads are fine, and as you say more scenic

The problem is when you have limited time, and a long way to travel, in this case you only have 1 option, the expensive (but mostly a pleasure to use) autoroutes.

The cheap deisel used to just about balance out the toll charges, but with the rising French fuel costs and poor exchange rate we're stuffed both ways Crying or Very sad

Choose your routes. If your going to Spain use the middle motorway south of Orleans it's free. It is also the nicest drive by far. I know i keep saying this but use the tunnel at Col de Somport to cross into Spain. Has anyone else been this way ?.

The tunnel is about 13km long. It's only been open a couple of years, its flat, empty, quiet and free. Find Oleron Ste Marie then follow the road through the Val de Aspe (which is just the most beautiful place). You come out on the spanish side and then go Jaca, Huesca and Zaragoza. As you may have guessed, i love it.
