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.
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.
