Travelling by car is a comfortable and efficient solution to visit France as the roads are well-maintained and the highway network is largely developed. In fact French motorways represent 8,000 kilometres of limited-access roads called "Autoroutes" (speed highways) in France as its mentioned in France highway map. It has the sixth largest highway network in the world, trailing only the United States, China, Canada, Spain and Germany.

The French motorway network or autoroute system consists largely of toll roads, except around large cities and in parts of the north.

France currently counts 30,500 km of major trunk roads or routes nationales and state-owned motorways as you can see in France roads map. By way of comparison, the routes départementales cover a total distance of 365,000 km. The main trunk road network reflects the centralising tradition of France: the majority of them leave the gates of Paris. Indeed, trunk roads begin on the parvis of Notre-Dame of Paris at Kilometre Zero. To ensure an effective road network, new roads not serving Paris were created. The Tour route heads out of the Alps via Saint-Etienne and a finish on the Mende Plateau, where Steve Cummings famously won on Mandela Day for MTN-Qhubeka in 2015. Another long, hot transfer stage takes the peloton onto Carcassonne for the third rest day, with the Pyrenees in view as the riders try to rest up.

The French highway network is run by several private companies as you can see in France highway map, this mainly explains why they are not free. The multiple tolls on the French autoroutes can be paid by credit card and cash, but now specific subscriptions and magnetic Travel Cards allow regular drivers like salesmen, lorry drivers and locals, to pay monthly with discounts.
