Manejar

By D.T.L.F. @ INSEAD

I Google Mapped my drive from CDG to the greater Fonty area, and I don’t think I could draw a more convoluted path if I ingested a blender full of LSD and Magic Mushrooms. Aren’t highways supposed to be straightforward?  I have a few questions regarding the highway system in France, and would greatly appreciate it if a French reader (I know you’re out there) could shed light on the following:

  • How does the toll system work?
  • Are all highways tolled?
    • If so, how frequently?
  • How much do tolls cost?
  • Are toll booths manned, or automated?
    • If automated, are there change machines and are they credit card compatible?
  • Is there a better way from CDG to Fonty other than the 15 step, 8 highway labyrinthine path that Google Maps spits out?
  • Where can I find Carne Asada in Paris?

Obviously, the last question is the most important. Anyone able to point me to a source of decent carne asada in the greater Paris area will be rewarded with a delicious beer. Provided you come to collect it, of course.

    There is no toll booth between CDG and Fonty. That should cover most of your questions. As for your need for carne, tell me who you are and I will give you the address of the best Mexican restaurant in Paris. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with what passes for Mexican food in Fonty. Your call.
