Simples...avoid auto routes. I always spend time planning my journey to avoid auto routes wherever possible and practicable, and enjoy the benefits of the relatively deserted C and D roads. It’s one of the main reasons for going to France for a drive holiday. Yes, it may take a little longer but does it really matter?
You have a double whammy to deal with in a RHD Morgan of course: toll booth will be on the wrong side and the car is too low to reach. The hood up, will make it virtually impossible. Even with a passenger to do the business, she probably won’t be able to reach.
+2. Buy the best (largest scale) Michelin maps you can & switch of use M ways on your sat nav after you escape Calais.
The A roads in France are lovely.
Absolutely this. I've always seen driving in France as being an absolute pleasure and a major component of the holiday. Blasting down Autoroutes when you could be touring through picturesque towns and countryside seems such a waste to me.
