Autoroute - speed limit is 130 km/hr. Your average trip speed could be about 110 km/hr, or roughly a half-minute per km. Highways and open roads - speed limit is 90 km/hr. Your average trip speed could be 70-80 km/hr depending on area and traffic (1 minute per km, with time to spare). We often travel at 70 km/hr on small roads with light traffic and good scenery.

Towns - speed limit is 50 km/hr.

Coastal Areas - roads are very, very packed in the summertime. Go early. Coast roads between Saint Tropez and Fréjus, for example, is more of a single-file parking lot than a road.

Rules for passing one-at-a-time

- the uphill car has priority over the downhill car
- a group of cars has priority over a single car
- a heavy truck has priority over a light vehicle
- a bus has priority over a truck
